RE: Those Who've Had Exhaust Leaks, Is this one?
Sounds leaky to me.. mine sounds pretty close to the same... i leak at both flanges connecting h pipe to catback. Ive dropped my midpipe off the car 6 times in the short time ive had it on and re installed it to see if i can fix the problem, but the dam pipes just dont line up. The catback ends sit really low, and the midpipe sits nice and high, very close to the car. If i try to connect them and bolt em down, the ends never seal together circularly, theres always an open spot.

I had the same thing. Friggin right under my drivers side where the H-pipe met with the manifolds of the headers. The damn thing was just too small to go around it, so what I did was cut the end of the H-pipe off. Went to a exhuast shop, had them make a stainless steel "nipple" to fit around the header manifold itself, and welded the nipple onto the pipe. Worked like a charm!

Sounds like it but not too bad. Since it is getting cooler in most climates, now is a good time to go out on a cool morning and look under the car after you start it to see where the exhaust is leaking from.
If it's from the passenger side manifold-midpipe connection, just pay the $12 and spend the 30 minutes to swap it out.
