Sorry to post about a 2015 Honda Pilot EX-L 6 cyl 3.5, sister's car, but some have helped me here with cars other than my Ranger. thanks.
She brought it to me because it's loud from an exhaust leak.
It seems only the bolts rusted away? Or is there a missing gasket/flange?
When I enter this car to autozone's site looking for exhaust flange, it shows a diamond/pointed silvery type gasket that looks like it might have deteriorated away but then I click on it and it just shows metal rings which seem to both be existing fine on both sides of the pipe. This is right after the cat.
I found no videos or anything about this year Pilot to confirm anything. Most others have a coned shaped flange that allows some flex besides what the flexpipe allows.
Just bolt it back together? It seems there should be something more sealing that this. Maybe just use cut/sheet high heat type gasket or a paste? If autozone doesn't carry these exact bolts I might just use hardware store , then rust preventer paint and a couple topcoats to prevent more rust. Only this section basically is rusty. thanks.
