Re: Exhaust leak (siberianhusky911)
It could be leaking exhaust that will get sucked into the air intake for the interior, but shouldn't hurt engine performance.
Since the tubes are SS, the gasket between the two tube sections may have blown. If so it shouldn't be very difficult to repair. If the problem is in the lower pipe, that header is a PITA to remove and install but can be done.
Soak the two Torx bolts with Liquid Wrench and then tap the end of an extension holding the Torx driver to loosen the bolts. A little patience and I was able to extact mine without destroying the Torx heads.
