Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Exhaust leak after Berk HFC & F.I cbe install

I need some help guys. I installed my new F.I. exhaust and used Berk HFCs today, and I've got a leak at the HFC-to-exhaust manifold connection on the passenger side. I used Fast Intentions 3-bolt gaskets for this connection. It's a fairly significant leak (can feel it through gloves), and tightening the bolts further did not help. I'm waiting for it to cool back down now, what are some things I could try? Maybe loosen it up and make sure the gaskets are aligned? I don't remember there being much slack there, but I can at least try it. Any other ideas?
