I forget (sorry...getting old!

), you don't live in the US do you? I try to make sure everyone knows about the 8yr/80K mile federally mandated emissions warranty.
If you're out of that range or don't live in the US I would personally just get a couple of HFCs. A workaround is just that, and the HFC will actually fix the problem. Besides, you can get it done when you get your new exhaust.
