Most Common places for exhaust leak?

[b5andm3]

I have a developed a nasty leak that appear to be coming right behind my front passenger side wheel.

Anything in this area tend to go bad?

Could be your flex or dp to cat check gasket

flex

flex pipe. Don't bother replacing it with a stock one, upgrade. It's basically the same price. I paid $220 for my Techtonics 2.5" and I'm very happy with it.

... I hope you have a manual, b/c swapping out flexpipes on Tip cars sucks.

Don't screw up your cat conv. or O2 sensor...

Oh yea, the other thing I've seen happen a couple times is the flange actually separate from the catalytic converter at the turbo. Mine did that as well as a couple customers.

It can be rewelded if that's the case, but I would buy a testpipe if you don't have E-Checks in your area.
