Changed spark plugs now exhaust leak?
Last week I changed my plugs and on the passenger side I took off the y-pipe to get to the third and fourth plugs. I tightened it down as much as I could and now I have what I think is an exhaust leak... on the drivers side! I can't hear it at idle only when it's under throttle and it's definitely on the drivers side. It is confusing me because I touched nothing on that side but I am positive that is where it's coming from. A little help...

Did you remove your AIR tubes in the process? Becuase if you put them back on with the same gaskets, they can give you that lovely exhaust leak tick. I had to go back and get new gaskets a couple of times after plug changes becuase of that.
