How important is it for a tight fit, or not, of the SS heat exchangers at each end where they connect to the exhaust headers and the muffler?

The stainless steel “jackets” can be loose. There’s no CO exchange unless the pipes are cracked. There’s enough heat even with some lost around the seams. The fit to the heads and muffler need to be tight as previously noted.
