Default ebay/ptk kit exhaust leaks

Anyone else have problems with exhaust leaks everywhere? This kit leaks everywhere and I can't get them to stop.

What did you do?

I dont think I have any leaks to really speak of. I have had a chance to spray the v clamps with some solution to see but I dont see anything noticeable.

Probably something similar to finding boost leaks, soapy water. Its going to be different since its going to be hot, i suppose lol

Im thinking a stethoscope could be used to hear a leak though.

i can guarantee that if you used the exhaust manifold gaskets that were included in the kit, those will be leaking. just buy factory GM exhaust manifold gaskets

I have the stock GM gaskets on there. Got a few of them fixed. Have a few more in the catback and rear of the downpipe.

I bought the Percy's gaskets back when I did my header swap several years ago and they have been great. I've removed the headers several times and also used them with the turbo kit.
