so i rememebred an old trick i used on many cars, tin foil. its never leaked on any of my previous cars, so i took some heavey duty tin foil and folding it till it was about three think and put it on both ends of the test pipe and made sure the ehaust wasn't blocked and threw it back up there. no leaks.

Nice. Fwiw my local Napa has the rear in stock, and the donut they order from the warehouse but can have it in a couple days. They're not that hard to find!

THis is what most places (shops) have no clue on how to replace for find. It's the most common issue they have when trying to fix the doughnut that broke.
