Will exhaust leak matter?

Kinda but tighten your exhaust and run some seafoam you SHOULD pass easily by the looks of it. You failed by barely anything but do that and run it kinda hard for 40-50 minutes before you go to get those cats hot and working good

Sounds like your cats are at their limit, if you can get another spout connector for the distributor and remove the internal points so it won't work doing the test, it will get the cats hotter to work harder, works for me when I am close to passings
