so then what REALLY IS the problem? **updated** well guys i took my exhaust 'leak' problem to a muffler shop today...but this time a different one...i saw this other post about muffler leaks and topfuel suggested to go to anthonys muffler...its the spugen store where the freakn spugen s2k crew is located...s2k's are hilariously niiiiiice...but anyway...i took it there n they checked it for leaks...they said 'no leak', 
n i talked to one of the s2k guys n he said he had the APEXi N1 with no resonator n it was the same problem...it cracked like mine at the end...so he put a resonator in n it made it quieter n got rid of that nasty sound...but then again...ahmtown left a post up in my previous thread, saying he has a greddy welded, no resonator n has no flanges, only flange he has is to the cat...sooo iono wut to do guys...i can only think that the reason mine cracks and dru106's doesnt is cuz mines an EX, his is an LX cuz hes got the same set up, wit the same flanges n everything, but then again with ahmtown i think its cuz his is a greddy and his is EX also...so iono...i was thinking of getting a greddy, cuz i dont want to pay $125 for a freakn resonator. sooo wutchu guys think...any suggestions? 
well i just got back from my friends car shop C&C auto in la habra...they do really good jobs there, do almost everything besides body work, but they know good places for body work, but anyway, they said that its normal for me cuz my exhaust is universal...and that it has too much airflow because there's no resonator, but then, i think about ahmtowns or dru106's, i think cuz dru106's is LX, but iono bout ahmtowns, maybe his was a cat back n i jus misinterpreted him...fukkkk iono wut imma do...im stressing out guys! what do you guys think?

custom piping, with Greddy muffler.
I think mine doesn't leak because the shop i took my car to do the custom piping did a very good job. Most places when they do custom piping it is usually in sections, and mine is one entire pipe straight down from the cat.
Try to have someone check, or you can do it urself, all the welds from the cat back because when they welded it might have created a little gap (cuz the guy didnt' know how to use a miller) since you noticed it when you put on ur exhaust.
on the flanges, make sure all the gaskets are present.
