Surfaces are uneven, probably clamped wrong too. I'll sand both surfaces smooth and copper spray and re-connect it.. til I get a new gasket maybe.

And yeah, at least it does drive. Going to Midas ASAP to have my exhaust tweaked a bit to reduce stress on the system. (Adding exhaust hanger in one spot, and adding more pipe to eliminate rearward pull on my downpipe)
do you still have that curvy dual out mounted sideways? that looked like it would be super inefficient over just piping it strait back.

remember to take pics for me

about the vibration, you think this too is exhaust leak related, or drivetrain?

The vibration is just the v-band seal. Confirmed.

The bigger problem is the one that involves the trans line fitting leak.
