Exhaust leaks HELP!!!!

OK...so i bought a new cat delete, install it on my IX, Make sure the the gaskets are in and everything is tight.....Start her up and there is hella leaks on both ends of the cat delete. So i switch the gaskets around and flip em and everything....re tighten everything with super strength!! Turn the car on again and the leaks are still there but wayyy smaller...barely a little tiny leak on both ends...but im still frusturated! Wut should i do? Can some one please help!

*I thought mabey i should drive it around for a few minutes and let the gaskets eat a little and get hot so possibly they will expand ......So once again PLease help

As long as the leak is after the turbo you should not lose any power, but it does sound like sh*t.
