Has there been any modifications with these to prevent them from exploding like the review from 2012 has mentioned?

I have had my sink installed since March 29, 2013 and I have no problems as of yet. This is located in a half bath on the main floor of my home which gets used on a daily basis. Not sure if this helps you or not.

I have no idea. My parents owned a glass shop & I learned that the thing which can make tempered glass explode is when a sharp item hits it, like an ice pick. That's why people have purchased a sharp pick like item for their car key ring, to hit the door window in the car when you are locked inside during an emergency and can't get out. Car door glass & back glass is made up of tempered glass, unlike the windshield, which is a laminated safety glass. Or if you have exposed it to boiling water and then put ice water in it immediately after the boiling water, that could make it explode.

We purchased this vessel sink in the Fall of 2012, love it and have not had any issues.

No. Not without heavy modifications that would affect safety. I wouldn't advise this (I own 2 of these).

If you have the 7.3L OE style pipes, Then these are an upgrade. Specifically where the joints come together. The OE setup has donut gaskets that blow out. These have a slip fit design with metal flat gaskets and they cannot blow out. Everyone we here from really likes this new design and so far none have ever blown out.

They work wonderfully, I have had no problems. They also work better on regular gas range than any other sets I have owned. Much faster!

I have tried them yet. I am still using the the ones that I have had for a while. I will change them when the current ones wear down. So I won't be able to answer your question at this time.

I haven't had that issue, they're constructed from aluminum & shouldn't break! did you try adjusting them out for a more comfortable fit? but yes, if they're too tight they will leave an impression. Then I did have an issue with one of the cords shorting out on me & Amazon had no problem replacing not only the cord, but the entire order!!!

Sorry don't know. Quality control in my opinion made them unsafe. I changed them out as soon as I could.

No they have not been redesigned. I was told, over the phone, that they had been redesigned. I bought one and found that they hadn't.

Duke, those clips are pretty serious clamps... Imagine, if you will;> Cooking with them engaged: And a small piece of food bubbles up, and plugs that small vent hole... It would become a pressure cooker with no vent, and a serious explosion could occur.> Storing with them engaged: Pressure on the soft rubber gasket in the lid for any length of time would cause it to deform, and perhaps harden in that shape; thereby defeating it's purpose of gently sealing in steam for cooking..

I do not know what previous versions had but I do know I have not had to re-tighten these since they ( I have two) were installed about 6 months ago.

So far I have had no problem but with all blown glass there can be issues so use care.....I really like my set and they are sturdier than they feel. As long as you set them down on a padded surface or a napkin.

I've had mine for about a year, and have no problems with them. They are build very solidly.

As long as the input and output line up the sane as the old ones there should be no need for modification. My stock mufflers were a bit longer so i welded an extended input on toake up the difference.

I want to edit my answer because I had said they do work, but I own the old ones. It seems now they don't work and have a different valve (new system)

That's what I use and they work like a dream. I bought a rubber riser to reduce vibration. Its great.

Well, I didn't read that but to answer your question(s), No and No. I believe it must have meant that it would withstand an explosion. There is nothing inside that would cause it to explode, well except maybe the battery(s). If you charge them or if you change them I believe you shouldn't have a problem.

No way, and I've even taken them from the fridge, and put them in the oven for a reheat, allowing the glass to slowly change temperature. I've had glass "explode" on me before, but it was always operator error. Going from one extreme temperature to the next.
