do elec. cut outs leak?

i have been wondering this for a while, do the electric cut outs leak? they say the have a high temp o-ring to help seal but i dont know how much i trust rubber with exhaust tepms coming right out of the headers. i have been thinking about getting some when i get headers, but if it leaks at all i can becuase the inspectors get all upidy when they hear a hiss. i guess i could always just pull the electric opening thing back off and put the screw on door on for inspection but that might get annoying.

I have been looking into the electric cutouts as well for my F-250 Super-Duty and I'd really appreciate any info on them that anybody has. Those that do have them how do you like them? Were they hard to install? I think it would be sick to be able to flip a switch and hear the 5.4 roar.

They can leak, however the larger problem is that they will over time start to stick.
