Default how ot fix x pipe

hey everyone, i put a x pipe on my 04 mach and it leaks on the driver side, yes the gasket aand everything is on, and ive even taken it off a few times and tightened it but i cant seem to get that last little annoying leak out of it. can anyone help? 1 other question is, when i first bought the car i could chirp pretty good into 3rd, but since i put my x on i cnt do it anymore. do you think it has something to do with the little exhaust leak? if not then why would it have stopped chirping? thanks everyone.
