Looking at your pic, it seems that you just had a gasket leak. Do you have more pics? Does the header plate look warped? Did you buy new gaskets? Did you made sure that the gasket shiny side went towards the engine?

I know after I bolted on the headers, about 500 miles later I had a few loose nuts and one or two more at 1500 miles. Tighten 'em all up. So far with over 3000 miles, no leaks.

^I see what you saying 'bout those ports and the stud holes, looks like crap... Yeah, that would have to be replace with some new headers.

I'm no expert, but I do see where the elongated holes on the flange plate will not seal the ports. The OEM metal gasket have crush zones at the ports... It seems that the real experts at DT need to do some more R&D.

I love my DT's. But those new flanges suk butt.

Nick,
Do you think I should wait to get the conventional oval design? Or do you think the new design will work?

My guess Ray and Stevie at DT would say the new design will work, as in Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder...j/k

If they have it, get the oval bro, because the OEM gasket will fit properly or get the 2012 QX gasket to fit the new round design. You already know the new design don't fit with the older gasket. That would seem to be the solution, but I'm no expert..

Those cheap basturds doing the one fit all chit. I would want true Titan headers or a refund ASAP. Those headers will not flow properly at the ports.

Now they are going to make me a new oval set but it is going to be another 4-5 weeks. Tomorrow it will have been 2 weeks since I was told that so hopefully I only have 2-3 weeks left.
DT did not tell me to try the gasket thing BBtruck gave me the idea and I figured if I could get it to work I could save myself from all this.

Sorry for that costly idea.. I just don't see why would DT think that the QX and titan headers would be interchangeable..:bangit: Freakin' experts. 2 to 3 weeks of waiting left, they sould give you a discount. Nice to have patience with those "experts" at DT.

It's a damn shame....

LMM, what's the word on the DT's? Did you get any resolution?

Still waiting.........
I was told last Tuesday they would be in any day and that he would call me.
Its awsome I drive my truck and it sounds like it has a rusted out exhaust system. It pisses me off everytime I F*****g drive it. I keep the windows up and the radio turned up so I dont start punching the wheel in a fit of rage. I have been considering buying the a different set to fix the problem and then selling the DT's when I finnaly get my new ones. I spent the money on wheels tho. It looks ok but sounds like ***.

Sorry to hear bro, the wheels and stance look badazz..

Found it funny about turning the stereo up. Not to rub salt, I used the stereo as back ground sound to my awesome sounding exhaust. My wife tells me to turn up the music and I tell no 'cause I'm about to downshift or accelerate..:teeth:

I bet yours is loud. I don’t have an intake yet so the trucks still pulling air through that stock box. On my 350z the intake made the exhaust sound a lot better. I want to get the 4" relentless intake.

Have you checked the latest, you can jigsaw a 4" intake, with nice test results..
