Default Leak at manifold/X-Pipe Connection

And I can't seem to get rid of it. The leak is on the drivers side where the manifold and the X-pipe come together. I installed it and everything was fine. Then I went to have my oil changed and they bottomed my car out on their lift. Thats when everything started leaking. The cats, the manifolds, everything. I removed everything and reinstalled it. Everything stopped leaking except for that one spot. Any help is appreciated!!

I'd take it back and let them fix it!

It sounds like they bent it out of shape when the bottomed it out.

They told me to get an estimate, so I did...well I tried anyway. At the dealership. Those dumbasses told me there was no leak! I can visually see the gap and feel the exhaust coming out when I hold my hand in front of it. I'm taking it to Fastlane, getting a new pipe, and taking the bill to those who fuked it up to begin with. I just messed with it some more, and now it is 10 times worse. Sounds like open headers on that side. It is definetely bent out of shape at the joint......bastards.
