Default Driving with one stock header and one aftermarket??

Im having some issues with one of my Strup headers, after a very long and costly garage visit it seams there is a weld thats leaking on the left header...

While im taking care of the problem i currently have a stock header on one side and a strup header on the other. I dont know how long it will take to sort the problem.

The question i have is do you think it could cause any potential harm to the engine to mix 2 different type of headers? Im usually driving the car quite hard

My guess is that the wouldnt be any noticable difference or potential harm, but i would feel safer with some confirmation or advice

Well first of all they where crappy enough to not even find the hole at all... I told them 3 times, check if the header is leaking, but they went on about that its very hard to "preassure check" a header bla bla, took me some tape and 3 minutes.

The problem is that the hole is at the center of the junction point where all 3 pipes meet, and you cant see it from looking into the exit hole, so its crazy hard to reach that spot to weld it.
