I don't hear exhuast under my door though, only from the back. and I have never had a CEL come on.

would this indicate a exhaust leak or just the nature of the pipes?

The interaction of exhaust parts varies the sound with what they are connected to. Do you have a leak? If you don't have a leak of any kind it may just be how that particular combination of parts sound.

If you have the V3 you certaintly don't need RTV.

I have the v3 before you came out with the option to add the donut gasket.

They are def V3's though. I bought them right when you started sending only RTV.

I purchased them in Decemberish.
