Many longtube headers give the impression that they are leaking by the way they sound. I installed the same set you speak of on a 01 WS6 we thought it was leaking but on a lift couldnt find anything.
headers just give sort of a leaky exhaust sound. You can usually tell if there is a leak though.

My jet hot Y pipe leaked, even with band clamps. I could feel the leak when the car was idling, and see the carbon build up around the leak.
Just get down there and look.
You can normally hear a leak if there's a "tick tick tick" sound that only appears when your engine is loaded (i.e. hitting the gas).
If it's a tick tick tick that's always there, and coming from the engine bay, it's just the extra valvetrain noise from the thinner metal in the headers.
