Exhaust leak :(

[Forseth]

I finally installed my BBK L.T.'s and BBK h-pipe w/cats this weekend. I start her up for a minute check out the engine compartment and then look underneath and I see "dirty water" coming from both sides between the mid pipe and the axle back and anoth small leak from the passenger side between the header and mid pipe. So i shut her off let her cool down and then loosen those areas up and try to align them the best I could and tried her again and was still leaking!!! Now i'm starting to get a lil frustrated..
anybody have a ideas to fix this problem or am I goin to have to take it to the muffler shop

what i have is the lt's and h-pipe with stock axleback exhaust (2 1/4")


Any help would be great guys

I keep getting an exhaust leak back somewhere off the midpipe cause I didn't use lockwashers.

just un hook it again and position the fitting over it more strait and do both sides equally. like one turn on the left one turn on the right.

I had to put hte overlay thing that you actually but the bolts through on perfectly paralell with the flanges otherwise i had an exhaust leak.

good luck tho. mine's opened back up

If i get a leak around a flange ill just tap it with a mallet and retighten, they do work loose sometimes.

is there any kind of gasket that a person can use or does that just sound retarded?

By the way My car sounds soo much better now with out my stock tubular manifolds and h on there L.T.'s FTW

they actually make a gasket that goes between a flange, its compressable. I think ive seen them at jegs and summit

actually no there isn't a gasket for the ball and socket fitting that we have on the bbk long tubes. I thought there was and called numerous places trying to find it and emailed BBk and they said it didn't require a gasket.

i dont think those are what you're looking for. those look more along the lines of muffler clamps without the ball socket ends to the cat-back.
