It looked like the sides of the flange weren't completely flush, but I couldn't tell for sure. Anyway, 2 bucks and change later, a second gasket took care of the issue.

System sounds pretty good, even with the catless front - I was expecting a raspy note but it actually sounded like my Perrin before I added the front/overpipe.

@Perihelion - good meeting you man - love the cosmetic stuff you've done with the car, really pops on an SWP! Sorry we ended up taking more than the "worst case" 2-hour estimate I threw out there LOL. Let us know how you like the system now that you've driven it.
I really dont know whats up with doubling the gaskets cause RAD did te install for me. Anyways im glad the exhaust worked out for him. now just tell him to buy my 11R's and his ride will be ballin
