Depends.
Does the coolant have anywhere to go when it leaves the rad?.Like a Reservoir?
If the coolant is filling the reservoir and not returning,then check the hoses in between.
You just Bought it?..did you compression test it yet?

No i did not compression test it yet.. The tempature gauge was fine, I added more coolant to it and it seemed to have fixed the problem

Don't run a straight pipe because the car will be unbelievably loud. You'll either need to run cats, or two high quality resonators. 2.5" piping is good for the midpipe.
