Bad news is that I must have shifted or damaged the head pipe gaskets during all the pipe manipulation, so now I have leaks there. Looks like I have to order new gaskets and do it all over again.
Yeah i totally understand pickles! I battled these exhaust leaks for a week!! And my manifold (passenger side) leak was Baaad! Gasket from dealership was 8 bucks.. Once you get that on if your leak is half as bad as mine you'll notice a difference in throttle response and noise. As well as gas mileage, i was burning through my tank abnormally fast. Exhaust Leaks are common and they are something we will have to keep an eye out and check up on like maintenance.
