SP2 Leak...
hey guys. well i just notice a small rumble comming from out of the flange behind the wheel on my exhaust. I grab a wrench and tighted it as tight as i could but it wouldnt get any tighter. what could cause the leak? if i get close to it i can hear it comming out of the flange. its getting on my nerves.

ya i just got it a few months ago. i cant figure it out. it also hangs a tad low. i dont mind it hangin low but the rumble is pissing me off. where can i get permatex red?
is it possible to put it the gasket on backwards?

i have a question about gaskets. sorta.
well i replaced my y pipe and where it connects to the cat the stock gasket was like 3 thin sheets of metal in the shape of the gasket i replaced it with which had a sort of papery texture and was thicker with a metal ring inside it.
well i had been getting this real high pitch rasp as high high rpm and i thought it was that gasket.
i went to autozone and the guy told me those thin sheet looking things was actually a spacer.....so i put that back in. the "BUDGET" gasket was burnt up.
i still have the rasp.
i dont feel like there is a good seal around any of my connections even with the gaskets in there.
so is the metal gasket really a spacer?
also, what are you guys doing about your sp2 burning your bumper at the tip of the exhaust?
