Now you need to fix the plenum. Don't install a new cat, without fixing it.

You replaced the plate as well with a Hughes or APS right? If you didn't, the gasket replacement only will blow again.

I might go "the extra step" by removing the center divider plate from my intake and then having the replacement aluminum pan welded to the intake. No more gasket worries.
