[QUOTE="Creedence85, post: 206091, member: 4346"] Looks like I'm late to the picnic. Did you manage to get this sorted yet? That definitely look like a leak which could be a drone culprit. You appear to have the stock H mid pipe which is a slip over connection with band clamp at the rear where it connects to the muffler axel over pipes, and a flange with gasket connection at the front where the mid pipe connects to the cats, and is the same way the stock mufflers connected. If you can turn a wrench and have ramps, backing the car up on ramps is enough clearence. I'd check the torque on the band clamp bolts at the rear as they need to be tight enough to crush the outer pipe down against the inner pipe. If they're tight then it probably needs to be readjusted and then tightened. There is also another set of band clamps where the axel over pipes connect to the mufflers so check them too. If something is loose or you have to loosen and readjust, movements will move the pipe, muffler, and consequently the tip alignment which can be a bit of a pain. The best way I found is to semi tighten the clamps enough to hold, get the tips where you want them, then tighten down. [/QUOTE]
