Default Looking for an exhaust leak...

Well I have had a fairly bad exhaust leak for a few weeks (ie. smell in car and horrible sound) and have been too lazy to jack the car up and find out what was wrong.

I figured it was comming from my recently replaced s2k donut between my t1r header and test-pipe. Boy was I wrong

Gotta love the crack right in front of the weld. Funny thing is my friends t1r test-pipe did the same thing... although I have loved both my t1r catbacks.

Josh, Dave can fix that for you in like 10 minutes if you feel like making the drive down to Fredericksburg. I had the same issue with my Toda. Is that little support bracket to the block in place? Apparently that does make a difference, even though it's a pain in the *** for installation/removal.
