open outlets on flowmaster 80 series?

Just made my own exhaust this weekend and I started it first without the outlets on the muffler, sounds awesome and throaty! when I put the tailpipes on (I reattached the stock ones cuz I didn't have a good bender for the angles) it took everything away, is it bad to run with open outlets? or should I get just a muffler shop to bend 2.5 tailpipes for me? should that fix the problem or...

It's gonna let fumes come in the car that's the issue I have now, mine rotted out above the rear end. It sounds burly as h3ll especially when you downshift at about 75 wide open, but fumes come in and I always smell like car exhaust. Lol...

KK, i'll be changing the tailpipes then. I've lived with exhaust leaks for too long on this car up until now.
