Is your off road pipe a 2 piece that connects in the middle? Did you hook up or plug the smog pump bung? Are your 02 sensors installed or plugged?

ok when you installed the h-pipe did you make sure the fit was good with the middle section loose?

the reason i ask is because you can get the ball and socket joint at the wrong angle and you will have a leak.

yea it might be at the wrong angle cuz i was a drunk when i was doin it but i checked it out like a week later and everythin seems fine and its not crooked but i dono. i left the middle piece loose when i bolt it on to the headers (which has a leak here) but its on tight, then i did the middle (leak here to) and on tight so i dont even kno looks like i got to a muffler shop damn i hate spendin money

An exhaust leak should not make the car die. Make sure the O2 sensors or their wires were not damaged during the drunken installation.

I would take it apart again and retry the install. Let your buddies drink the beer while you work. Exhaust can be a pain in the butt. I had this kinda issue with my truck but after a few atempts i got it.
