I just got a new exhaust and it's leaking at one spot (where the midpipe meets the resonator). On a cold start, I can see a little bit of water dripping out. Bolts are as tight as I can get them and the gasket is on.

Is there anything I can do? Can the gasket only go one way? I tried flipping it around and it sat the same it seems.

 

So it's leaking between two flanges? You can try using copper spray on the gasket.

 

Yeah. I just put some of the ultra high-heat silcone copper gasket maker on it along with the gasket. Wasn't sure how much to put, so i just put a thin layer between the two.

Gotta wait 24hrs or more until I can check if its still leaking.
