Default Midpipe Install Questions!

I picked up the Megan Racing midpipe last week! Im going to have a tech at the car dealer Im at do the install next week, got some questions!

--The midpipe is 2.5in vs 2.25 on the stock, will the midpipe flange bolt up to the factory exhaust manifold flange?? Im keeping the stock manifolds/main cats
--Do I need new gaskets? I didnt see new gaskets in the midpipe box. Gaskets where it bolts up the manifolds and rear where bolts to the Tanabe axle back

I got the Megan midpipe installed! Its way lighter than the factory midpipe, but the new midpipe is hitting up against the tunnel and vibrating into the cabin its annoying need to put car back on the rack see where its contacting.

How do you like the new midpipe?

I considered a midpipe before but decided to go with an aftermarket resonator to pair with my Invidia axleback instead since the midpipe causes issues with the smog testing in California.

I went with an x-pipe into Magnaflow mufflers.
