Need help!

Ok I've had an exhaust leak for the longest time and I've tried everything to fix it but it just won't go away. It's leaking at the flange of the h-pipe to header. I tried buying that gasket but no stores sell them. What can I do to get rid of this pos leak.

what exhaust do you have? it should be a ball and socket joint and there is no gasket

you just need to remove the bolts...clean it up, maybe even oil it so it seats.

it'll smoke like heck when you fire it up...til it burns off...but it will help it seat good while you tighten it.

do you have air tools? so can hit it w/ an impact gun?

My exhaust is in my sig. I've tried loosening it a ton of times and still no luck. My dad has also tried everything and it just won't stop. I have this clay exhaust leak stuff and was wondering if I could put that around the ball?

Either the ball and socket fitting isn't seating correctly or it's rusting and rotting away. Worst case you can try a split-flange to repair it. Or have a buddy with a welder find the leak and fix it.

Ok I tried fixing it once again and now I think I made it worse. I took it for a spin and I got on it and it popped really loud. This hissing sound is horrible.
