Today, I finally got to the mid-muffler and rear muffler replacement job I have been needing to do for the last month (living in the hills in MA and not having a heated garage makes these jobs much worse then they normally are). Had to drill out the bolts connecting the flex pipe and mid muffler, but other than that, went fairly smooth.
After the swap, I started her up and noticed that the connection btw the flex pipe and mid muffler was leaking slightly. Went back under, and tightened the bolts really good, started it up, and the leak was better, but still there. How tight should I make these connections (I am already straining to move them)? If tightening them any further isn't an option, what else can I do? Didn't have this problem on the other two exhaust jobs I did. TIA
