that was the catback though and it was the first version of it they have fixed the fitment issues, just turn it on and put your hand close to it and feel if there is air which i doubt

lokal yeah welcome to rolling with a midpipe! Did you take any pictures of the fitment with the catback? Did you take off the gasket between the OEM cat and put it between your midpipe and catback?

Go to autozone/whatever and get some high temp gasket sealer, the highest temp stuff they got it will be orange and smear it between everything

Oh and buy some new bolts for where the midpipe attaches to the header, that will make future swaps much easier
