Is the gasket leaking or the weld? Can you take a picture?

I would call who you bought them from and see if they will exchange them.

We put some on my friends car and they fit great. Also great quality headers for the price. Yes they do rub on the kmember slightly but nothing a little cut didnt solve. I think you just got a bad set. Should give them a call.

I agree that the quality of the headers is good, especially for the price. I didn't mind notching the k-member. Other than that, the headers fit perfect. If only I hadn't spent the money on that damned y-pipe
