Espelir JGT cat back, suppose to have a hole in the weld?

Yeah, so I just finished installing my tanabe downpipe and LPI cat delete and noticed a hole in my cat back. The hole is right at the bottom of the flange to the mid pipe on the muffler side. It is dead center in the 6 o'clock position about 1/8" in size, is this for drainage? It is the lowest point in the exhaust. Needless to say there is an exhaust leak coming from the hole. It has only been on the car for a few weeks, any ideas?

Aside from that, this combination exhaust sounds amazing. WOT yields some impressive sounds. I had my dad do a WOT drive by 2-3-4 gear and holy **** does it sound good. It’s loud from the outside but sounds so pissed off, low, throaty, mean. I thought my dads supercharged NSX had a mean sound, this shames it completely.

Just take the muffler to an exhaust shop, and have them tig weld the bastard up. Not a big deal...should cost under $30 bucks to fix it. Kind of weird it came like that.
