problem with GM exhaust

It was awesome the first few days...but i now have an exhaust leak but have no clue where its from, its definately louder and doesnt sound like everyone elses with this same exhaust.

my question is, do any of you guys have a problem with one of the muffler from the exhaust? and if so how can i check it to see if thats the problem??

my mods are catless dp and the gmpp performance cat-back

thanks, any help would be appreciated

Chris

I doubt that the muffler is bad. I will put money on it being a loose connection or a bad gasket or imporperly installed gasket. Get under your car and try tighting up the bolts cause that is more than likely your problem.

Yeah check the connections. I had a bad connection between by downpipe and the rest of the exhaust.

Check the flex pipe. It is the only part of the exhaust that is not rigid.

If his downpipe is stock then he doesn't have a flex pipe.

My bad. I just went and looked at my stock dp and the flex pipe is small and definately not the issue in this situation. If it was broke the OP would have complained about the car being really loud.
