    alright, just got back from the lift....

    It's clear the gasket blew out on the top of the flange this time, not the bottom. Looking closer at the flange, it appears the top of the DP flange is actually warped outward

    I tried to massage it back into place, but it wasn't really working So, I just put the new gasket it and it's sealed for now... we'll see how long it lasts.

    Here's some pics.





    the dark spot on top is not a shadow, it's the burn mark

    well, it's fixed

    ...exhaust shop just cut the flanges off and welded the DP to the resonator...

    well, at least it doesn't leak anymore .....
