Question about exhaust gasket
 

Yesterday morning when i started the car, I noticed water coming out of the exhaust tips. That didn't bother me but what caught my attention was I saw water dripping at the left gasket between the catalytic converter and the Sharkwerks cross pipe. The right gasket is fine. My question is, can I leave it alone? Or i need to insert new gasket ASAP?

I think that is an all metal gasket. Have you tried just tightening up the bolts?

I have not yet tightening the bolts. I have 2 new gaskets and considering installing them.

If you already have the gaskets it's only a 10 minute job. You might as well if for nothing else but peace of mind. PLUS.. think of that time as time that you do not have to hear a single word about the royal wedding....
(a 10 minute job usually takes me 30 minutes)

OK, no royal wedding crap please:grr: I will install the new gaskets. Just don't mention the wedding and the birther thing too.

theres water coming out of every exhaust, its condensation in the whole system. But where its coming out of a particular joint shows there is a open gap there . If its only slight it wont hurt anything . Better you feel there when running and see if its a large exhaust leak or only slight.
You can put new gaskets on it, or fabspeed makes thick copper gaskets or there is a soft putty for exhaust leaks at the auto parts store you can put in minor cracks
