help exhaust noise

[CivicUser]

I just installed the manifold cat on my 06 civic. All stock. Now I am getting exhaust noise on the end that seats into the pipe. Any idea on how to avoid this leaking? I noticed that there are two screw with springs. I bolted these in as tight at I could. Would this be wrong?

I had the same problem after installing my header,it turned out to be the gasket

No gasket between the bottom of the cat and the midpipe.

you should take it to a muffler shop most shops would check your car for free

^^^ That or take it apart again and make sure that there isn't something missing or wrong...

You should probably get a gasket. It should help seal the gap between the two pieces

so the new parts are all OEM?

Ah ha. Found the gasket. It was caked on the old cat. Took the mid pipe off and popped it on. I'm golden.

you should get a new gasket,that one could be damaged causing a leak again,new gasket should be like 5 bucks

There's a doughnut gasket there, but it's squashed into a groove so you failed to notice it. See part #7.

edit: I see you solved the problem.

yes. I figured it out. It was easy enough to get to that if it starts leaking again I can buy another. I thought it was more than $5 though. majestichonda was showing like 16 or 17.
