The proper way to do it, is to change the gasket. If this does not work, you have to mill the surface to make it flat.

Wouldnt hurt to take the manifold off and check that its not warped. Mine had.

i have a 4-1 to go on one of my levins and that gasket is goosed on mine too .. toyodiy be of no use obviously as the standard mani is 4-2-1
need to take it apart and clean both mounting faces there is stuff you can get for sealing exhaust flanges its quite expensive iirc (not something cheap like gun gum) will work if the gasket isnt completely broken

Also the bolts holding the front sections together had damaged threads .. the bolts must take a lashing with no flexi

To be honest mate I'm not sure on prices it was in my car when I bought it mine don't hang low at all its fairly tidy under the car fits under the plastic undertray ... Lovely noise from it performance wise I'm not 100% about the benifuts as I haven't drove it without it
