My plan is to cut off the heat shield, 'patch' the hole, then cover the cat with heat shield wrap. I actually just ordered new gaskets and plan on doing the repair as soon as they arrive.

Ok, I'm guessing I have a similar leak at a manifold or something. I'm also in CA just north of you. I feel like I've heard the same chug on many D2s before so it must be pretty common.

I'm going to try this after work to make sure I don't have multiple leaks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Check on the manifolds where the runners hit the collection point. Had a big leak there that resulted in it breaking completely off on the highway one day.

The technique in the video above works SOOOO well. It made it extremely easy to locate the leaks. I had one leak on a cat (I’ve known about this one), and one at the collector junction (new one that started on an off-roading trip last weekend).
