Default Jet Hot catted Y Pipe leaks?

Hey guys, I had my Jet Hot LTs and catted Y Pipe installed about a month ago or so. Well, i'm not sure, I think there might be a few small leaks. Is this common with this Y pipe? It has a lot of connecting pieces, so I think it is definitely possible. Also, would these leaks possibly be causing my exhaust to be raspy (Jet Hots, catted Y Pipe, GMMG), or lose power? Thanks for any help guys!

I had the same problem with my Jet Hot Y leaking. I just welded the y-pipe together. It doesn't leak now but I can't take the cats in and out like you're supposed to be able to do. I looking into getting the QTP y-pipe to replace my Jet Hot unit.

That is why you guys should just go with the Hooker Y-pipe
