2149 Hooker headers
When i bought the Hookers headers i chosed the 2149 with the exhaust gas ricirculation passages. These are very near to the spark plugs wires and in addition these passages are closed by me because i removed the air pump and the EGR.
Now I want to eliminate removing all.
How to cut it and plumb it definitively?
Thanks

On the header? You could cut the tubes, tap them, and screw a plug in. Or cut them and have them welded closed but that'd be bad on the coating if they are coated. You could also sell them and buy the 2151.

The problem is that when I put the 1/2" pipe in to the big vise, with the weight of the header, I bent the little pipe at the base...allowing a "crack"...
Could I put a on it a weld compound??
