After quite a bit of effort I'm still chasing down exhaust fumes in the cabin. Car is just barely drivable, especially in stop and go. I'm at wits end and definitely need to take it to a place that is
1) competent
2) honest
Currently I think this might be part of the problem

but I really, really don't know any more. The shop that fabbed up the exhaust did a shit job (Scott found many of the leaks when the car was on his hoist). It nominally doesn't leak anymore due to fixes but who knows. The header/exhaust flange is crap, the flex pipe is crap, I just want my problems gone at this point.
I don't really want to take it to a regular old exhaust shop and come back with the zillion dollar, zillion piece header melted and on fire. My dream is someone like Scott but with time to work on exhausts, and maybe more in the GTA :P
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions I'll love you forever.
