I just finished installing my o/r mipipe but I feel a leak of air from my driver side but whats worse is that theres some smoke coming from my passenger side. Can someone tell me what is happening and/or what I did wrong?

Did you replace the studs ?? If you didnt the bolts arent tight enough because they are bottoming out on the shank of the factory studs. It wont allow you to cinch it up really tight , if its not tight its gonna leak . smoke is probably a leak starting on the other side try not to mess that gasket up on the passenger side . put new studs in , use blue loctite and lock washers and get it really tight .
