another problem

Problems one after another

I never put exhaust on because the paint guy (that did not finish the job on my truck) wanted me to leave them off. So I never heard the truck run except without pipes so that is why I have this question today.

I replaced my old exhaust manifold with new after market one and they have two holes in the middle (see picture) that I did not notice but they go all the way though. I had new exhaust put on today and they are leaking greatly. They do not go into my head so I need to plug them but I am not sure with what. Is this normal or what? I was wondering if they sell plugs for this type of problem or if a certain bolt is necessary with using lock tight would do.

One thing after another I wonder if I will ever get this truck on the road!
