Does anyone know where i might be able to acquire the front( cabin side ) header they use to make... The center pipe on mine is pretty well ****ed with multiple cracks and the bend and I don't believe it can even be welded at this point.... I'm trying one last ditch ghetto rig effort of high strength jb weld...wrapped in hd aluminum foil and then wrapping the exhaust to see if by miricle it might hold but am doubtful....
It sucks that my 3.2 with a borla used to sound and run good and now it is like someone put a Jon deere motor in it so trying to see if I can pick up a replacement header somewhere for it just in case

If you can't find those, I would go for a set of Trueleo headers. They looked like they would flow nearly as well.
Get them coated.

Well won't really know till tomorrow but took the car for a lil spin and it sounds good now and doesn't appear to be leaking yet so we'll. just have to see how this bandaid of mine holds up... The only thing now is something is making a rattling sound and I don't know what it is

Well the system will be pulled for repairs again...lol.... I found a shop that is gonna try to weld it up for me if I can get it pulled and delivered on time after school today
The bandaid worked for about 3 days till it blew out again... I think it could have lasted longer but thinking into it I think one of the downfalls was the whole wrapping the exhaust built up to much heat on the pipe
Hopefully this will fix it and not cost me an arm and a leg and then I can go and fix the **** that got messed up because of it and other stuff I discovered during the whole thing like leaking injectors

If your car has these headers, you have the design and the pattern. Cut away the rusted sections, buy new pipe and/or mandrel bends that match the size, have them welded in and smooth the welds with a grinder if necessary. .

Non of the system is rusted they are just cracked and the prob is this is my only car right now so finding a shop in Brooklyn near me that can do the work on a weekend or during the time frame I have is next to impossible... Even this repair for instance...
I'll have to get the car back to my garage at about 3 after 1+ of driving and have the header pulled unwrapped and delivered to the shop by 4-4:30 so it's gonna be right to get this done
