Leaking X-pipe....
Sounds like it's coming from the front driver's side but I can't really tell. I tried getting under the car and listening for it while the wife hit the gas but it's so loud I can't hear the ticking.
Everything was super tight on both sides and the gasket was good when we did the passg. side, WTF? Any words of wisdom or should I just take it to someone?

After new exhaust componets are installed and heat up and cool down it causes expansion and recession. You MUST retighten all of the connections to insure no leaks.Originally Posted by Firemanz

I went under there and tried to tighten everything, everything was tight as can be. Should I give it a couple of days and try again or maybe get some liquid gasket?
Don't try any type of leak fixer's. The ball connection should seal perfect on there own unless there alignment is questionable or there damaged.

well i know when i had an exhaust leak i could hear it every time i drove next to another car, be it parked, in motion, whatever as long as it was fairly close. just a suggestion
eh i was only really paying attention to the part where you couldn't hear it from under the car...if you know you have one, i have no advice...lol
2.3t ownz all
LOL jk
I installed my exhaust, had everything as tight as can be. Ended up with exhaust leak as well so I just took it to Alamo Performance and they machine tightened it all up for me for $10.00, can't beat that.
Ha!!! You know It's not the passenger side because I'm the Man!!!! :woot:
let it cool off all the way then try retighting see if that works.

Try loosening it up and then when you retighten it, be vary careful to do each nut the same amount of turns, otherwise it will end up crooked. Did you get a CEL?
Scott, what's a CEL?
Larry, what ya doing Monday?

Lawrene,
I had this prob when I put my X pipe on. The pass side pipe has a ridge and the manifold has a recession it fits in. Mine was tight but still leaking. I loosened it a tad and pushed the pipe over and it popped in to the groove and the leak went bye bye.
Most likely this is where it is coming from.

Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, you’d better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.

Stock one stayed there. It still looked good....the x didn't come with one because I bought it used.
Did you make sure there wasn't any cracks on the exhaust pipes near the flanges? I have that luck with mustangs on the passenger side.
Yep...
If you want..... I will just drive the car around town for....... a couple of months....... and help you determing where this leak is coming from.....
Its fixed now right?

Nope, Larry and I tried finding the leak on it yesterday and found where a weld is coming loose on the muffler itself. I have to take it to the dealer and see if they'll replace or repair the muffler.
Taking it 1st thing Thursday morning....
Cool...I think you can go to like a midas and they will use the sniffer to find it

We know where the leak is coming from. Know how much they would charge to just tack weld it?
Dont waste money on welding it.......Just get some muffler wrap and yoll be good to go........
I mean its only a Jack Raoch edition......j/k
