oh yea, I have had to fix my exhuast multiple times, the welds cracked all the way around on the flange just below the mani, Im sure its because the is no flex in it at all striaght pipe all the way back, had it welded up and gonna take it to a muffler shop and see if they can put in a 4-5" flexible tube or something. I removed the cat, its all brand new from there back witha flowmaster... once I get rich ill buy a LCE header.. and do it right
