Is there a gasket on at the factory collector where the "headers" and H pipe join? I have a small exhaust leak there, which results in a tapping sound.
I crawled under and it is leaking there just a little bit. Can that be fixed by just tightening the collector bolts or is there a gasket between there.
I was thinking maybe it's like the aftermarket shorty and H pipe connection where it's just a "ball and socket" type connection.
