exhaust leak from where the dp connects

[DSM-Talon-John]

I installed my megan racing dp yesterday and my car ran like shit and sounded way to damn loud without anything else. Anywyas it wasnt tightened down all the way and it leaked pretty bad from where it connects, would that cause the car to feel really sluggish?

By the way i ended up cutting the stock exhaust off after the cat and i think it sounds good.

Yea exhaust leaks can do that, I had that problem when I put on my megan downpipe too. You just have to make sure you tighten it really well, run it, and retighten again. Agreed, it is loud, I ended up attatching it to my stock muffler until I get a chance to have some piping made.

Your leak was before your 2nd o2 sensor, so you were leaking metered air.

The second o2 sensor has nothing to do with it, im running my stock dp without it now.
