Did you use a torque wrench? The Perrin exhaust I installed said 25ft lbs which isnt terribly much. Also did you do the tightening as even on both sides as possible? I still need to check mine as well but I have not noticed any leaks at all. I know this is completely different area of bolting but just curious.
But tightening down one side then doing the other can cause a uneven seal and therefore a leak. Car looks great by the way.
