exhaust manifold leaking

[emmanuele]

How praytell does one stop the exhaust flange / manifold joint from freakin leakin??

Ensure its tight, but not too tight. Possibly replace the gasket...

Liquid gasket!

There is no gasket on that joint. Check to if it cracked at the end of the pipe or the manifold itself.
Otherwise make sure the nuts are tigth but don't break the bolts, loosen the brace bolt just below the joint that bolts it to the block, so it can draw up properly. also the pipe flange can wear thin and leak, only cure is to replace it.

I had the same problem a few months ago, now matter how tight you did it the exhaust still comes out. I got a new 3/4" set up with a flex joint for $300, best money i've spent I Think. Even the wife said it sounded better.
