Got a leak before Midpipe!

hey guys just wondering if any damage can come from having a leak before my midpipe? Would it cause a lower vac? more creep? Also to get it fixed do i just take it to an exhuast shop or a rotoray shop?? From the passanger side if you stand near the car you might pass out from the fumes! i know the leak is there cause one day when i went to warm up the car i looked under and saw some of the condensation in the exhaust come out of these place right before the midpipe. Also just wondering if it would cause low compression if i take the car to do a comp test? thanks guys.

The only thing an exhaust leak there could cause it slighly more creep. But if you're running a MP, you've probably read all about that. It's going to stink and be a little louder. It won't cause lower compression or any of the other issues you mentioned.

I had the same problem, and it seemed to close the gap between the DP and MP better if you use some heavy duty washers on both sides of the flanges.
