Hey guys quick question

I have a gms cat back exhaust on my 05 legacy gt 5eat. Other day I noticed a little small puddle under the the y-pipe and than on the mid pipe today, because I tried to see if the clamps were any loose. But looks like I have an exhaust leak from three different areas not where the point there's huge puddles when I leave it to warm up but from the point where there is a small little puddle. Is this a really bad thing? Is it time for a new cat back? I know it can mess up with your idol, codes, and lower your gas mileage but I don't have any of those problems. My gas mileage is fine no decrease and no codes has shown up. Just wondering that's all but please notify me back thank you!

You noticed a puddle because you tried to see if the clamps were loose? A puddle of what?

i am assuming water ...

to the OP what you can do is take off the clamps, clean out where the exhaust meets really well, and put some type of muffler sealent ( the one i have seen is in a yellow tube) youll be making a type of gasket really. This is just my opinion.

I noticed a puddle before and I went under the car today if the clamps holding the pipes together were loose but they were tight. A puddle of just water from I between the clamps holding the pipes together. I'm just seeing if this is something serious or just a little exhaust leak.

That's a pretty good guess

As long as it's a puddle of just water your okay

So you mean to tell me,

you have a GMS with no fitment issues?





Anyways, It's probably water.

Yeah it's water I was just making sure it wasn't a serious problem for it to cause any harm because it was leaking. No I didn't have any fitment problems.

That's good. There's been a few guys with fitment issues.

Yeah but ima be getting a new exhaust anyways because I either want to just single tip or nameless performance TBE. The only issue I have is the rear sway bar it rubs against it but I just moved it a little and now not as much only if there a huge pot hole or I make a jump. But after that it worked fine, but still getting another type of exhaust though.

The single exit sounds amazing. I wanna see what it sounds like straight piped.

There's a video on YouTube, but that guys legacy is pulling 400+ hp on a 5eat but it sounds like a rumbling monster really mean. Yeah I want the single exit badly how much did it pay you to do it?

$150 total.

What?!? 150 total that's a good price where you go do it at??? Because I wanna do a single exit badly!

The local exhaust shop.

Really? I know if I go to an exhaust shop, around here, there going to charge me $200-400.
