Catless Downpipe install, possible problem

Installed a catless downpipe today and noticed when decelerating from 4k+ rpm it would vibrate super loud and be obnoxiously loud coming from my turbo side.

My coins in my cup holder sound like a tambourine.

Same thing also happens when I change gears almost wide open throttle.

A shop installed it for me but they used the 3 hole gasket that came with it and ordered something for the 4 hole.

doesnt sound it should have been like an o ring gasket by the turbo and a triangle gasket at the other end near the exhaust.

I had the same thing happen, had to re-center the turbo side gasket as there was a small leak causing a resonance.
