Default Suspension and Exhaust

two questions...i just put a brand new exhaust system into my car and i just noticed its leaking where the H-Pipes meet the catback system...theres no dents or cracks because i dont bottom out so is this normal? should i just tigthen the bolts back up?

the next one is im going to replace the suspension...it rides like complete **** because the guy before me had crap shocks and springs...any suggestions for the best ones to use?

My exhaust did the same things as yours. What I did was jack it up on four jack stand so it was in the air. The I put a piece off would on my jack and put it under my h pipe so I could jack it up just a bit so it was more level with my catback. Since I jacked it up I could tighten it up a little more and it fixed my exhaust leak.

For suspension get urethane coil isoltater bushings with some new Eibach springs with any decent shock/strut set-up and your ride will be much better
