It's not the flange to the cat, so sleeving it won't work. I have UEL headers, it's the flange that meets the block, on the left side if you're in the driver seat. Which is clearly where the noise is coming from. I've spent about $100, having multiple people look at it. I told them the flange was warped, but of course, being a girl, i dont know anything (
Do you have the borla header? I have a pin hole in mine that i cant get a welder to and its driving me nuts but its only a small leak so i just deal with it. But i did a bunch of welding to some other small leaks on the header also. My guess is its the header it self or you need new gaskets between the header and block. But hard telling since i have no idea with out seeing or hearing it.It's not the flange to the cat, so sleeving it won't work.

I told them the flange was warped, but of course, being a girl, i dont know anything () Someone thought it was the gaskets; replaced them.....nope. Someone else found my donut gasket demolished....said, okay problem solved. NOPE. Meineke even tried telling me that absolutely nothing was wrong with my car and it sounded normal, after he made some comment about me being a girl...... I could've just bought new headers basically by now. So frustrating. Rant over.
I've had evergreen look at it, and sealed it with silicone once. It literally just the flange. I've looked at it, you can see how it's warped. I just had the gaskets on each side of the block replaced....not even a week ago. It's certainly not a little baby leak. It's pretty significant.
hope you can get it figured out. would take a look at it for ya if i wasn't so far a way.
Lol trust me.That was my thought too. However the kid said, "I don't like your attitude, you're on your own." uhh..YEAH, of course I have an attitude. I get my car back TRASHED, my bezel cracked, and my headers messed up.....
Was a friend. haha. Let's just say we aren't on speaking terms. He let me borrow his $30k jeep for a night to take somewhere and i left my car with him, thinking it was safe since I had his jeep worth 4 times my car.
That's nice... he beats on your car... probably thought because it wasn't a "high class" car, he could do whatever he wanted to with it. You should do something to his Jeep.
Lol his theory actually, was "you put lowering springs in your car for function, not for looks..." my response was..."YEAH. FUNCTION FOR WHEN I'M DRIVING IT." i'm not vindictive. It'll catch up to him sometime.That's nice... he beats on your car... probably thought because it wasn't a "high class" car, he could do whatever he wanted to with it.

Double gaskets and a shit ton of silicone are looking like my cheapest best bet at this point.
