What's up all!,

Ok, I have this nasty exhaust leak in my '99, and its making my car sound LOUD, I mean to the point of annoying when your driving inside. On the outside, people still think my car might be cammed

Anyways, I pop the hood and now I'm peeking down at the passenger side header, and theres about a 1/2 inch gap between the header(?) and my H-Pipe.
It looks like two screws might be missing also..

I want to put this thing back together again, are there any other parts I will need (besides the 2 screws)? Thanks,

-Ron

No, except maybe washers. Just look @ the other side. Did you have someone install it for you?

Someone was telling me that I'll need an exhaust gasket. Is that right?
The piping is stock, except for welded in mufflers.

If it is on the passenger side of the car then there is an exhaust gasket there, it is hard to find excepts for from the dealership. If you have stock manifolds and pipes then these bolts should not be missing because they are studs from the manifolds that have nuts on the other side sucuriing the pipe to the manifold. If they are missing some nuts bolts and lock washers should do the trick.

sounds like a good upgrade time to me but if you don't want to, that should be a easy fix
