If your talking about the flange right behind the cat?Just remove the nuts and pull the pipe apart and replace the gasket. Are you sure its leaking there?Are you sure your exhaust manifold isn't cracked and leaking?

I didn't see any crack in the exhaust manifold look like it is leaking around the gasket. Did you get the picture of the exhaust I sent?
