Doubled up my old gasket with the new one and the leak is gone. The PLM one is a little thin so the extra material was all it needed. Still not super impressed with the overall build quality but it does sound great now.

Not sure if Im down with double stacking gaskets…I’d replace that with a Grimmspeed double thick gasket when you have a chance but that’s just what I would do.

I only did it because I was in a pinch. I have no plan on leaving it as-is. Though, if it holds up...
