Exhaust flange leak

[Packerman120203]

This flange has been leaking on my dad’s 2020 for a while now. I looked at the parts diagram and it shows nuts on this flange too but it doesnt look like there are on the truck now. Best way to fix this? I already broke the bolt on the side of the leak by trying to turn it out after penetrant and map gas so the drill is coming out soon. My best idea is to use some 3/8 stainless hardware i have from my crosstour’s exhaust and use that with a new gasket.

Exhaust Rattle

I started my truck today on my way to the airport and immediately heard quite the rattle. I revved the engine a little and the rattle picked up. It sounded like it was coming from under the truck so I guessed the exhaust and when I looked under I noticed where the exhaust pipes are joined it...
