Turboback (MXP,COBB and AMS) installed Need help - exhaust leak

Hey guys,

So here is my current setup i just finished installing this past weekend with my friend. - AMS wIDEMOUTH DP, COBB HFC, and MXP catback exhaust.
Started her up and heard nothing. When I when under the car, i could feel air coming between the Widmouth DP and Cobb HFC. We put it on there pretty tight too. There is also leak between the muffler and the the MXP midpipe. There was no air coming out, but we saw water dripping from it. All the gaskets were vibrant and were brand new. All the exhausts parts were bought used with very low mileage.




Can any one help me on what this issue can be? Do you guys think I should swap out those gaskets with those special thick grimspeed gaskets? They are kinda pricey but if it will work, I can try and give it a shot. Please give me your thoughts and inputs.

Thanks!

the exhaust should line up, try loosening each section (not to the point of taking the bolt out, just loose so you can move the sections) and realign

It looks like it was lined up pretty well. I am going to double check this weekend. I might have my local muffler shop look at it really quick too.

Tighten the exhaust one component at a tight front to back.

Muffler cement is truly magical. I used some today on my exhaust. Had a small bit of air seeping through the dp/tp connection
