exhaust leak at flange between h-pipe and manifold...
My exhaust is leaking at the flange between the headers and h-pipe. I've heard you can use a copper sealant on the flange and it seals it up? Anybody ever try this?

Hmmm... I'm hoping the bolts are just a little loose then, I recently had my uncles shopput the motor and trans in (bought it as a roller) and lets just say I'm not impressed with the quality of workthey do.
If the bolts are indeed tight do you have any hints on how to stop the leakage?

i used rtv one time but it was just for a smog test and right after the test i cleaned it all out and went back to my catless h-pipe which fit correctly

I'm going to take it to the local shop tomorrow for new tires and a front end alignment, while its there I'll have them check out the the bolts and see if they are loose... The car has a flowmaster american thunder series cat back and would probably sound have way decent one the leak is fixed...
