*turbo -> dp
*dp -> mp
*mp -> cat convertor
*cat convertor -> y pipe
*y pipe -> either side muffler

On my stock exhaust system, I had rusted out holes in my muffler and pipes leading to the muffler. If you have a new one, try checking the gaskets.

I had a really bad one between the mani & turbo a while back. So much so that I was losing about half my boost.

That's a good point. I don't think mine was leaking much there though, and it even had a broken stud. The gasket was still in pretty good shape.
