I have never heard of someone rounding the header stud nuts whilst doing them up ! only ever whilst trying to get seized ones off.
Sorry to ask an embarasing question but - are you turning them the wrong way?
Also has anyone else had a gasket fail ? Just wondering if a past owner has snapped a stud and refitted an exhaust but only used one side of the bracket holding the exhaust in, do you have 8 nuts
Is it an aftermarket exhaust.
The gaskets are the crush type. Overtightening the bolts a few times can flatten them out which could result in a leak.

I see, which would meant that either the headers have been off to fit new ones and the cheap skate last owner used the old gaskets or they have been off for a repair and the last owner did not know that best practice would be to replace the gaskets
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
