Stupid question????

Does anyone have pictures of the up pipes and were you would tighten them. I think mine are loose. I believe I can here an exhaust leek but I'm not sure were it;s coming from or if it's my exhaust and I never notice before after I put a 4" turbo back exhaust on. Sorry for the dumb question. thank you

you got to reach over the Trans from under the truck..but the top bolts are right behind the turbo..there are donut gaskets in both pipes up there..its a pain to get too and takes a few different extenders to reach it...the bottom of the pipes hook into each manifold and there is no gasket there...them are easy to reach..wish I had a picture for you..

snug them up good.. no real spec for that..but I am willing to bet you may need new donuts ..if you look around the pipe and firewall or slide you hand around the pipes behind the turbo and get black soot then it is leaking..in that pic you will notice the left pipe is leaking behind the turbo.there is soot there..
