Finally (possibly) figured out the problem.......

dont know how many of you remember my superflo thread back in march (and all the problems i had) but i think it maybe solved. Im pretty sure there is a leak at the gasket at the cat so WSP is sending me a new one. My question is have any of you WSP owners had this problem w/ a faulty gasket?

i dont have a problem with the superflow but maybe with the original with the flex section, the flange that meets up with the cat on the y-pipe bends as i tighten the nut, but seems like it seals nicely with no leaks, just looks awkward with the bend in the flange.

i sometimes wonder if the stress of the bend will break the flange.
