Exhaust leak

[JDR7919]

I have a exhaust leak after my downpipe in the flex section could this cause my car to run lean? My wideband is pegged lean.

Thanks

If it is before the sensor, the sensor will read lean on your gauge. But, your car will not run lean if there is a leak after your first o2.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. Its right before my sensor. So can I have the flex part replaced or do I need a new downpipe?

Thanks again..

I'm not sure. I can't see why an exhaust shop couldn't fix a leak/crack. If it was me, I would just get a new downpipe. (upgrade).

** I see you already have a 3" downpipe. In that case I would just go to an exhaust shop

Yeah take a trip to an exhaust shop. A good shop will be able to fix it, if not they can replace it for cheaper then you can buy a new one. I had a shop bend me up a 3inch exhaust from my megan downpipe back and they welded on my Apexi N1 muffler for $100.

I will go by the shop this weekend. Im just glad its a easy fix for once.
Once this is fixed I can install my 30r
