I don't know what I need yet... chances are a new stock gasket (or simply tightening things up) is all I need. I think my leak is simply due to the huge heat cycles my car went through at the Friday test day...

I was seeing 1900F EGTs because I had my skid plate installed and it was retaining too much heat from the headers. Getting everything that hot, then letting it cool, and repeating like 10 times over the weekend probably just loosened up the bolts in my exhaust system.
