Question just bought cracked headers.
Will someone host a picture for me. I just bought a set of headers from a local member, but the headers have a crack at the weld for the AIR pipes. Will this effect performance. It is small but I can see through it.

Also, 20 bucks wont come anywhere near covering it.
Even though it was a minor oversight, I would request that the headers be refunded..
If not, I wouldnt accept any less than 50 bucks. Its not just the cost of the weld, but the frustration of having to get it done.. (Not to mention the coating)

Hmm I thought $20 was a nice gesture, as they were already heavily discounted.
The coating won't be an issue, they just need to run a small bead around it and you'll be ready to rock.

FWIW I welded the air pipe flange on my ceramic coated FLP headers and it had no effect on the ceramic coating, these headers are now on a friends 01 Z06 and still look great more than a year after welding.

It was very nice for the seller to offer 20.00 so you can have this welded. You should be able to have this easily welded for that amount.
