An annoying exhaust leak!

On the Ozhonda cruize day I smacked my headers real good on the dumbest speed bump I have ever seen in my life! It was like a fun box in a skate park.25 cm high and sloped down on 4 sides.Ever since then I've had an annoying exhaust leak that I just couldn't pin down.I took the car too my muffler guy to take the headers off and have them filed flat where the 4 pipes meet 2.This is where they usually bend,it happened to me last time I smacked em'.Geoff said they weren't bent and put double gaskets in there but there was still a leak!

What can I do???

I know! This!

Whack a heap of 'Grey gasket sealant' on there :p

Yeah,there's a couple of pieces in there aye guys...but it's doing the trick.

It has areally nice note to it cause the x force twin loop.Not worth spending money on another exhaust...

Weld the mofo. Make it one piece. So you have to hacksaw that sh!t to RnR.

If you think you have an annoying exhaust leak somewhere,how do you check if you are right or wrong?

I remember when I first used suburu upper engine cleaner if there was a leak white smoke would come out of it but now no white smoke comes out when I use it,so that meathod dosent work.

After I fixed my timing I'm pretty positive I haven't got an exhaust leak but how would you find one anyways?

Does anyone know?
