Celi is in the shop, exhaust leaks Options

[95CelicaST]

I took the Celica to the shop this afternoon to have the exhaust leak looked at. A bit later I got a call from the shop saying they found the leak.... or should I say 3 leaks!

I have a hole the size of a pencil near the axleback.

I have a hole in the midpipe

And the strangest one - I am leaking right over the #4 exhaust port off the head. He said he is going to check to see if my exhaust manifold is warped, which I'm hoping not. If not it just needs a new gasket.

The verdict.... $130 if the manifold is fine... $175 if it needs to be resurfaced

Anyone else have something like that happen? I'm all depressed..

Ive got an exhaust leak somewhere up front (not sure where)

Every RARE once in awhile It will even backfire when im shifting from gears 1-2. I think its only happened 3 times in the 2 years its been like that, and it passes inspection so im leaving it for now
