I used to have this nasty exhaust leak sound on my Stiilen B pipe right after I changed the Stillen muffler back to OEM. Since then, I have clamped the pipe a bit tighter with a u-bolt style clamp, where the two halves join together, and the noise has gone away almost entirely, until I make right turns. Chassis flex maybe? Any help?

My guess is it would be leaking from the same spot. What's probably happening in when you go around a right turn, the exhaust shifts just a bit and its probably enough to cause the same spot to leak a bit and once the exhaust shift back when driving straight, it reseals. I would say fix that spot or tighten it some more.

ya thats what I was thinking. The u bolt is already on the verge of bending the pipe though so I can't really tighten it more probably not a real good idea. I guess I'll just have to take it in and get it welded or something which I don't want to do
