Hi, I recently had my Manifold Converter replaced, and the "service Engine soon"light came off, but shortly after that, I had an exhaust leak, I was told that it was the flange gasket, and I had to replace it, after replacing it again, I had another exhaust leak, and when I took it to another mechanic, he simply told me to get a good approved Nissan Flange gasket, which I did, and I am about to take the car so they could get it fixed, do you think it is the gasket or some other problems causing the exhaust leak? I also noticed that the leak is not affecting my gas, and anytime i try to speed up, it takes time before it attains the speed, what can I do?

Check for any sign of a crack or any uneven spots on the manifold gasket area, and on the new converter!
