How hard is it to remove and install an exhaust?

Damn guess ill have to take it back to the shop that installed it then. How come the car isn't acting weird or have any smells of extra loud noise if its leaking?
 
+1. The 2 clean flanges should fit well with a fresh gasket and not leak. Otherwise, something is off. It wouldn't be harmful to run a d you may not note ce any different. If you do leave it, I'd return back to correct the fit whenever convenient.

Its a small leak and not a big deal.
 
aaron go under the car take a pic right under the opening, i wanna see how the two flanges are connected.

If i was you ill Just loosen the nuts, and take the gasket out and put it back in. Then tighten the bolts again
 
Ok I just took the gasket off and put it back on and retighten the bolts and it still drips water. But goes away after the car is warmed up.

I don't know what to do :(

Ok never mind guys I fixed it. I removed the bolts again and gasket. But this time I noticed the surface of the flange on the old Y pipe on there had lots of corrosion and rust on it and the surface wasn't smooth. So I just sanded it down by hand with 60 grit sand paper then washed off and cleaned everything up including the gaskets and reinstalled.


No more water dripping now!!

If it comes back again I'm going to use some exhaust paste next
 
Yeah no Y pipe. It only came with the midpipe and muffler. So would that be called an axleback instead? Megan's website advertises it a Catback lol.

i don't think I would want a Y pipe changed anyways because its pretty loud as it is haha
 
oh... thats bad false advertisement. y pipe doesn't necessary change the sound but gives it better flow. just wondering if the megan mid pipe the same diameter as the y output?
 
Sometimes they do that to avoid the O2 sensor. My beater truck's aftermarket piping starts 1'-2' behind the cat. in that 1'-2' is the O2 sensor. It's debatable I'm sure, but I guess ther's potential sensor issues if you expand the pipe size.

I highly doubt thats the reason. the sensors are on the cat and the headers. The megan y pipe has the same diameter at the cats but at the part where the 2 exhaust meet up, its a true 3 inch. personally i would think putting in a true 2.5 - 3 inch output y pipe would reduce the sound at lower rpms.

Not sure why i came up with that theory but my brain thinks so lol.
