    1991 318is leak at connector clamp

    Car came with what looks like the original cat and a newish oem catback and oem connector clamp and sleeve. PO installed it four years ago but only put 500-1000 miles on it so the car sat for a while. Cold enough here that I can see exhaust leaking from both ends of the clamp. Tightened it down but still leaks. Any suggestions? Car is far from pristine so effective matters more than pretty.

    Turns out PO cut the flanges off the cat and catback and tried to used a sleeve and clamp to bridge the gap. Ended up going to a local muffler shop to clean up the mess.
