how much of this is install error? wrong torque specs? buying used products and reusing old bolts and/or gaskets? not re-torquing after heat cycle?

as far as fitment goes, the only "fitment" issue is with contact with the skid plate, and that is not a flaw in the product, but a limitation to the possible designs, meaning in order to have the optimal design it is a necessary evil, and a very minor, free to fix issue. Otherwise the vast majority of people have had no issues or complaints.

also my ace 250 header was 1350$ brand new shipped from a vendor (no discount/sale price), and 350 type As are about 1700$, back when more vendors stocked them you could get them for 1500$ when they had their annual sales. So not really close to 2000$
