Mine leaks where the OR/H is bolted to the passenger exhaust manifold. I tried to fix but I think the original mold from Pypes was worn when stamped. I will have to heat up and rap it to stop the leak. You may have this problem so carefully reach between the frame and exhaust manifold to check the joint area when vehicle is running. Don't burn yourself but if it leaks you will feel the excaping air. I am at a loss and Pypes will not return my email questions.

Actually yes this was one of the problems I encountered. The flange on the down pipe was bottoming out on the exhaust manifold bolt stop before the pipe made a tight connection. I had this problem on both the passenger and drivers sides. I just took a large diameter drill bit to make an inset on the tops of the flanges so the flange would allow the pipes to make a tight fit to the exhaust manifold.

If the leak has been there a while there should be a black residue on the pipes or manifolds where exhaust has been leaking out.

Usually you don't want to wait till that's an indicator but h's right. A more immediate find is seeing and hearing the exhaust escaping. One you can see the smoke coming off and two you can also hear it. Listen for a ticking noise like tikytikytiky very fast. These are all clear signs

Is this the new 4 piece design of the O/R H-pipe? I have been thinking of getting it, but I am a little concerned of issues during the install, since I was looking at doing it myself in my garage.

Yes this is the 4 piece. It may require some modification to have good connections. Pypes includes 2 clamps for the pipes coming off the exhaust manifolds to connect to the H. These clamps didn't really seem to work very well so I bougth 2 exhaust clamps like the one used to clamp at the H.

Does anybody know if the Pypes O/R X-pipe has similar fitting issues that their H-pipe does?

I''m sure of it. All of pypes products leave something to be desired w/ quality. They are priced to sell though

put soapy water around the connections and start the car up....you will get some bubbling and such showing you where the leaks are

Pypes was no help to me at all either. Couldn't get any answers to my questions. Fitment was junk.

i had the same trouble, and my friend's shop said they did something similar to this fix. when you have time, can you supply pics, or diagrams of this fix so i can understand it better?? the reason is that i think i'm still getting a leak at the collector and would like to explain better how to fix it. thanks!!
