Default QTP headers question

I've ready numerous threads in the past about the QTP headers leaking at the collector, but I wanted to know... is there any updates on this? Has this issue been fixed? I couldn't come up with anything in the search

I had QTP headers and y-pipe and didn't have any issues with leaking. That was years ago though, I know they've redesigned the collectors since then with the "velocity spike" but over all QTP is up there with Kooks as far as quality.

Mine leaked and so did several others. I had the HVMC. I would never buy another set. As far as the issue being fixed I highly doubt they changed anything since they told me that "that's the price you pay for performance sometimes" Basically saying there was no problem
