any specific way that i can tell if it is leaking, the installer told me they got a new gasket from mazda.. but who knows those people are shady
and where is it likely to leak, at the header or between the midpipe and cat pipe where the springs are?

IF you feel no air leaks at either flange, then you are good to go.

heres a few pics of the rear of my midpipe flange connection to the Turbo XS catback exhaust. as you can see it hangs low at the flange , so if you bottom out real hard , leakage can develop due to distorted flange, its a good idea to have all gaskets checked if it seems too loud.

Have mine xs with the stock cat as well, sounds great and not too loud. Regarding the exhaust leaks, go to a auto store and get some universal exhaust gaskets, modify them to fit the flange, use two layers maybe, tighten the bolts up really well and you should be good to go. I bottomed out a couple times already but no problems.
