Today, decided to fix the leaks. Initially I thought I only had the one leak, however, I had four flange leaks. The two that connect to the CATS were fine.

I applied the copper seal to each flange gasket. Also, I decided to purchase larger size bolts w/hardware since the ones that came with original purchase seems a bit too small. Plus, got high grade quality so I can torque down bolt, without the fear of breaking. We'll see how things work out tomorrow after I wait the 24-hours wait period for the copper seal to dry.

Had time to fire it up after redoing my flanges with better hardware and applying cooper seal to the four gaskets that were leaking. Initially, I thought one leaked by, but upon further inspection four leaked....with one that was more noticeable than the others.

Final result.....all is good. Took it on a test drive and no B.S., I can tell the difference on what this properly sealed cat-back system sounds and feels like. Wow....what a difference fixing the flange connections.
