Default Exhaust leak repair?

Well, I got my car on a lift at a Ford Dealship and sure enough,I found exactly where the leak was coming from....

Air just pours out where the driver's side header meets the midpipe. The studs could not be tightened any more and the pipes seem to have some "play" to them.

What's the best way to fix this? Just get new studs and tighten it up? If so, what do I need specifically?

I have a driver side header gasket leak....i hope to have it fixed in the morning at a friends shop.

My question is, i have no cats so would a ford dealership work on my car?

As long as you dont have cats the dealerships can work on it, if you had cats its againist the law for them to remove any emission parts.So you should be good
