Are you sure that it's leaking where the flanges seal to the heads? You might have a crack in one (or more) of the primary tubes at the flange. My 2000 S stock header/cat units recently developed this condition, and it's hard to see with the headers installed on the engine. I have no fault codes yet, but there is some noise.
