Default Just installed headers and midpipe

Finally got them on after almost a month, and they sound awesome! Only problem is we had to undo the steering in order to get to the headers, and now even though we tightened the steering back in, before the car will actually turn, the wheel will freely move left or right about a half inch. Any ideas why?

did you hear any rattling or a sound like you would make to imitate a machine gun with your mouth? Cause I hear that too and this whole thing is starting to get irritating
