Default Exhaust leak/Engine Sputter?

My mods:
Stock intake,edge headers, invidia test pipe, invidia cat back.

There is a small exhaust leak where the headers meet the test pipe. (Near the bottom of the connection.

What is the results of this leak?

Also,

I am feeling a small sputterring of the entire car when deaccelerating with the clutch in or in neutral and the sputtering stops when the car comes to a full stop.

The car will turn off if the gear is still engaged and the clutch is released at low rpms when coming to a stop.

Any ideas anyone?

Could the two be connected?

Thanks.

Care to elaborate so if anyone has similar issues they could try your fix?

It's nice when people actually follow up on their solved problems

Sorry your right.

The new gasket that the headers came with were a bit too small and was letting air pass through one of the sides and through all the sides when accelerating.

When i put the stock gasket on the new headers/testpipe joint the exhaust leak stopped and the sputtering is very very slim now, just how it was at stock.
