They crack. Just like the stock ones. They sent me a fresh set, and let me keep the old ones.

"What the hell are we going to do with a cracked set of headers?"

I want to take them apart and re-weld them and make a carbed turbo setup for a sandrail.


Interesting. I always thought that they were supposed to be superior to
the stock ones. From what I've read, there really isn't an appreciable gain
from headers until you're runnin' in the 10's anyways.
Does anyones headers actually hold up ?

Well, in their defense, it is a daily driver. It's no trailer queen and they were doing good for about 3 or 4 years. I think the issue was the leaning out on the back two cylinders, I need a power plate.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

I figured that you already had one by now.
