Mine dont leak.
The only way to have a decent headers leak is to do a crappy job installing them. This may not apply to pacesetters, since theres a high chance of leaking even when installed right.
For TOGs and similarly jointed headers, if you don't have the donut gasket in good condition and perfectly centered before you tighten the joins, they will leak there. Re-center and its fine.
Other causes of leaks on any header is lack of surface prep on the flat-gasket joints, or using crap gaskets. Personally I wouldn't double stack gaskets, either. Felpro FTW.
Most people with S&S, TOGs, and SLP headers flat out do not have leak problems. You can't say oh well, they all leak and ignore the fact that pacesetters leak many times more than any other header. Ordonez is lucky to not have leaks on his set. [/b]The reason i said that mine dont leak is because they are welded, which is why i said, "if you want your headers to work, get them welded"
Pacesetters dont leak at the donut gasket, they leak at the slip joint at the y-collector.
