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

use the jack to put x pipe all the way up and a couple extra washers on your bolts ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

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
