Default midpipe gasket

ok, so the stangs been parked since nov 1stbut I've been going outside a couple times a week and startin her up and lettin her run a few minutes....once in a while i take her around the block.

well today i went outside to start and once i did it reaked of gasoline outside. Thing is, I have a catted prochamber, so it shouldnt really have that scent....never did before.

Its also cold as hell out, and i looked at the tailpipes and its pumpin out the steam or whatever...but only from the passanger side tailpipe. SO i look under the car and i see the exhaust comin out from what looks like the connection between the midpipe and header on the drivers side.

I'll try and tighten it down a little later and see it thats the problem. And I cant remember because its been a while since I did the midpipe swap...which side needed the gasket and which side needed the resonator....just wondering in case I have to get a new gasket for it....

I also gotta take my car to emissions testing in Feb....I hope I can fix it by tightening it down, otherwise I know I'll fail (CT uses sniffer test) ...though after february I'm thinkin its time for longtubes and an O/R prochamber....no more emissions till 2010 haha...i'll deal with it then....
