Default midpipe install

Well I completely messed up the passenger side nut and stud so I took it too a shop and they got it off, replaced the stud, and installed my h pipe. My midpipe came with a short piece of thin pipe only about 2 inches long that they didn't use. I have mad exhaust leaks so I am taking it back tomorrow. What is that piece of pipe and should they have used it?

I have that little 2 inch piece that came with my... damn, i think it is a BBK o/r H pipe. It was on my driver side going to the headers. I just put in back in, i thought it was like a kind of gasket or something. I had to go back and re-tighten the nuts that connect the h pipe to my headers cuz i had a little exhuast leak.

So exactly how does it go in..like direction wise. That way I can tell them. I also need to make sure they actually put a gasket on the passenger side.
