nissan altima exhaust leak

[quote:d3680751c0="emilasia"]I have a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5s and i have created an exhaust leak. I believe it is behind the heat sheild where the exhaust pipe conects to the headers. The part has 2 bolts and springs and right there where those two pieces join it is now flexing allowing a leak. My quite sounding car now sounds like a deisel and i was wondering what do i need inorder to fix this. I hope someone can help me.[/quote:d3680751c0]

This just hapened to me you have to take those 2 bolts out and inside there should be what they call a doughnut. take it to nissan and they should give you a new one for 17$. for me after that i had to change my cat that's what created the leak in the first place for me.
