[Shotimes] Exhaust manifold leak

[Ron Porter]

Yep. I have had the donut go out a few times, but this last time, the donut
was fine. What happened is the flange on the catback pipe that mates to the
donut had developed a crack at the point of the flange. It was new catback
time.

Excellent point.  When Zach and I were reincarnating SHOs in my driveway in
2001,
the first one to start had a huge leak in the back manifold area, and it
turned out
to be the Y pipe connection....I had the bracket cocked sideways, and the
nuts
tightened enough that I thought it was in place.....wrong!!!
