[Roadsters] Exhaust leak

[Roy Haslett]

I have the stock manifold and exhaust, the one with the ring clamp from the
manifold to the pipe. It has always leaked no matter how much I have tried to
tighten seal etc.. at the clamp.  I am now at the point where I will wrap it
with some hi temp silicone tape and see if it helps.  I guess I could go to
the muffler shop and have them work on it.  Good idea to retourque the
manifolds, I have a good gasket on (from Dean) so that might help too.

As I understand it all exhaust leaks
are bad and it can be a tiny hole too.
Often the collector gasket is
disintegrating so maybe get another one and
replace it , tighten well.
Retorque the exhaust manifold and look for cracks
on the stock one.
