[Shotimes] HELP with exhaust leak (WAS: HELP with radio static)

[Steve Tatro]

Welp, it's official.  I'm a moron!

Yesterday when I posted seeking some help for what sounded like some radio static?  Yeah, it was an exhaust leak.  Wanna know how I figured that one out all by myself?  Turned off the freakin' radio!!!  

Brilliant!

With the radio off I still heard this "hissing", sounded like it was coming from the console.  Knowing that there aren't any hoses running through the console, I decided it must be underneath the car.  I get under there and have a little look-see, and there's steam forming at the exhaust flange (where the y-pipe meets the flex piece - ATX remember).  Much like when you can see your hot breath in cold weather, this must be "steam" from the hot exhaust hitting the cold air.

No wonder the car's been acting funny down low, as if there's no backpressure ;^)

So, I guess I need a new gasket.  Judging by the rusted old hardware, I should probably replace that too.  Problem is, I don't know what this stuff is called, or where to get it.

Is this AutoZone stuff or should I spend my retirement account to buy OEM parts?

Thanks as always,
