put down the coffee and step away from the computer!

Yes, the shop this guy took the car to was definitely a hack job type place. The "gasket" blew out on one side and caused a horrible exhaust leak at the turbine exhaust housing. See ...



Now, I can't completely fault the gasket ... the bolt below the downpipe was missing, which is what probably caused the leak and lead to the gasket decitegration on that side.

I think that if you used some thin sheet aluminum or mild steel and them coated both sides with some extreme temp sealer (oven sealer), it should work fine.
