Hello everyone,
just a quick question, i had one of the bolts fall out of the flange connecting the front and tail pipes i put some new bolts on the left most flange, I didn't want to do them up too tight (exhaust heat and expansion etc.) I was wondering whether these flanges are meant to be flush up against each other or is their meant to be some clearance. after doing up the bolts i took it for a spin but it still seems to be leaking a bit and i am wondering whether i didn't do the flange up tight enough or the gasket ring needs replacement.

i am talking about the flanges that are no. 5 in this diagram
