mine were leaky when I first installed them, but I realized it was because the bolts I have are longer + the thickness of the plates I got from speed inc being barely half of what my AIR tube plates were... I dealt with the exhaust leak on the drivers side by adding both old gaskets from the AIR system temporarily, and let the passenger side leak away for a quick drive to a home depot. Bought a small baggie of washers for a buck, let the car cool in the lot, then pulled the plates and put the washers on the nuts.
it also helped that I used some new AIR gaskets as well.
I figured 10 bucks to allow me to do the work of yanking all the AIR stuff now and allowing for me to sell it later if anyone wants it is fine... I've got race LT's sitting in my dining room but I haven't got the rest of the parts nor do I have the time to put them on.
