Post downpipe install, car sounds terrible

I had VRSF downpipes installed 2 weeks ago. Since then, the car sounds terrible. Too much farting at low end acceleration and very very raspy. I have an Eisenmann axle back exhaust and resonators are gone and replaced with regular exhaust piping. Ill post pictures up tomorrow of my exhaust.

As long as there is no cracks at the welds its a seal.

Need cats or resonators or mufflers or something. The N54 doesn't sound as bad as the S55 but its far from a good sounding engine
