My first CEL what could it be???? Oh and other problems

Finally got the whip off the bricks and it had a CEL. Took it to autozone had it read this is what it said: PO-456 the guy told me it was a (small leak in the evap system) what does that mean he said something is loose could be the gas cap etc has any had this code or know what could be wrong??


Part 2: I have an RX-7 store midpipe and a mazdaspeed catback

first: the OEM gasket fits around the mid pipe but not inside the catback so I have a huge gap and the noise is unbearable! any suggestions on a fix for this!

Second: being that the mid-pipe is 3" and the exhaust is 2.5" I'm getting alotta popping and what seems like back pressure is this normal or is there something wrong?
