    I was chasing some exhaust noises on my new to me 2011 dcsb. I tried the vacuum cleaner and soapy water trick. To my surprise virtually all the joints showed a leak.

    I dropped the y-pipe and there is lots of rust in the flanges. The gaskets were falling apart.

    Still a straightforward job. I had to replace one bolt and nut combo due to rust.

    Same here, 3 round gaskets and one donut gasket sealed everything up. Had to replace 1 nut bolt combo.

    Hey, I need to replace a gasket on drivers side, the bolts/nuts look the same as that picture above. Once the nut is removed, how do you get those bolts out?

    They are studs, they are threaded into the flange. I would not bother removing them.

    :rimshot:

    My trucks' studs were so rusted they just fell out. The flange was so rusted on each side I didn't trust it to seal up with the new gasket so I put a heavy bead of exhaust sealant in there. So far so good.
