you can also use the soap water test on the intake pipes , Spray the connecters down ?

I tried my best with my mirror but there is just too much stuff in the way. It came on last night on my drive home and I didn't have enough time to start tearing the car apart and have it back together for work this morning.
The gasket in question is post sensor. So unless there is a leak at the header itself, any pre-sensor leak would have to be in the intake piping. Correct me if I'm wrong but the leak would also need to be post-MAF sensor. Also if I had a leak post-sensor I would expect to pick up a change in my Innovate which is in the downpipe.
The gasket/paper idea sounds good. I'll have to see if I can get something in there.
