Sounds like a gasket problem, which model subaru is it? WRX or STi?

if its turbo to d/pipe, then simply use one new steel gasket and your sorted!!

any other problems and its either a fitting issue or a faulty flange on the d/pipe??

put 3 steel gaskets together, fingers crossed everything ok, no leakage.it was the d/pipe to centre de-cat that was leaking. got it done this morning and gave it some stick and all is well, the difference it makes to the car is marvellous, got its power from low down back now.cheers for the reply.
