I have had leaks from my H-pipe being either mis-aligned or loose. That is probably where it is unless you recently removed the exhaust header.

As far as summit brand H-pipes, you can have my piece of crap. I think it was made by a blind Chineese 5 year old. Buy Mac or a bolt together mid-pipe. Some X-pipes are two piece bolt togethers. Just look at summit or Jegs and they have varying prices. Don't buy the $120 one! Please!

A couple years ago I bought a Summit H-pipe and I had to modify it to fit....if you're looking to save money buy a Mac. The extra $30 will save you $50!

You have all those quality parts on your car and your gonna cheap out on the exhaust? Buy a BBK or Mac and be done with it.

your bitchin about your car sounding like a harley but you don't want to do anything but put on the S h i t t y cheap H-pipe. I would rater put the cats on until I could AFFORD a mac. If you can't talk the talk, take a walk. Some of us don't complain about our cars to forums then do nothing. Kinda dumb.

Just take it too a decent exhaust shop. Personaly I would just start pie-cutting and welding till I got it to fit. But you can save yourself the hassle and have a shop do it. Probably charge 40 bucks or so.
