The install went flawlessly other than this, took a whole of 35 minutes from start to finish. I really don't mean to make this a larger issue than it is, sorry I got my feathers ruffled a bit with your response.

I misspoke, its the pipe that connects to the x pipe between the muffler and the x pipe, the flange where it meets the X pipe WAS warped. I took a large grinder to it and took off maybe half a mm of material off mostly the ears and it seals perfectly now. Like I said before, the leak was very small and didn't even cause any noise just some minor flow was felt from it while leak checking the system over. But the small leak has now been corrected without spending any money or really any hassle at all, I just wanted to note it as it really was my only concern with the exhaust system as a whole.

Please don't get me wrong, I am a VERY satisfied customer, anyone that has heard the exhaust has said thats how it should sound from the factory.

Edit: I will send the pictures out once I get home and able to upload them.
