exhaust leak problems

hey...anyone who owns a helix DP....do you have exhaust leak problems comming from the DP to the mid pipe?...i have a Blitz nur spec...if so how'd u fix it?...

can anyone help me with this prob?....

i was thinking just to rip off both flanges (on the DP and MP) and put brand new ones on both so they fit better...

Did you replace the gaskets? That might be the problem.

you can hear the air leaking out at idle and it gets really loud at some rpms. somewhat like a flapping noise.
