Default Exhaust leak

Just thought i'd share this. I went to a Honda dealership here in Benton Harbor MI because i found out that i have a leak at the exhaust manifold and wanted to order a new gasket. So I told the parts guy what i needed. He asked me what year and model car. I told him an '01 S2000, then he asks me, Is it a 2 door or 4 door? WTF!!! I hope he gets me the right part.

The s2k exhaust manifold gasket is just a thin strip of metal.

Unless you mean the donut between the exhaust manifold collector and the cat.

I thought i heard a noise coming from the engine so i popped the hood and pulled on the throttle. I felt the air coming out from between the header and the engine. Im going to take a better look this weekend.
