I was driving around Newark the other day and pulled in a driveway to turn around, misjudging my A) speed B) clearance and now my car sounds like really, really angry Honda. I inspected the underside and found the exhaust is leaking (pass. side) between the where exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter section bolt together. I tried tightening the nuts but the sounds hasnt gone away.

I really don't want to replace the cat section, as its only two years old. Is it possible I just knocked the more inexpensive gasket out of place? Any comments, suggestions, or ideas would help. I know it cant be good for the car to have exhaust leaking so far upstream. yelp!
