I have a bad exhuast leak between the headers and hpipe on passenger side. Anybody know how to fix this. Is there a gasket there ? If so what size. And does anyone know the bolt sizes incase i break the bolts.

The type of gasket and if there is one depends if it is is a flange or ball and socket fit. Same for the bolts. Most likely 1/2 inch bolts. Spray them down with PB blaster first and you may need to heat them up .

What brand headers?

Are you sure the nuts haven't just backed off or the studs stripped? They're likely 2-1/2 inch 7/16x14 bolts.
