You have to go back and re tighten all of the connection points on the x pipe untill it stops leaking, you may have to use some kind of space before the nut to get tghat x pipe extra tight to the headers, when I put my x pipe in I used a jack to lift the center of it nice and high then bolted up my mufflers real tight so they wouldn't hang low

the mufflers are sagging thats whats causing them to scrape. make sure they are on the exhaust hangers correctly and that they're not at to much of an angle
