Damaged my new headers :(
Hey all....just wanted to vent.....
So driving home from Gingerman Raceway after this seasons last track day, I had a bit of an accident.
While on I80, with cars on either side me I noticed a large object in the middle of the road. I had no choice but to hit it, there was no time to stop. WHAM!!!!!
At first, all seemed ok. I wasn't far from home, so I just kept moving. After getting off the highway, I could hear an exhaust leak....and I just knew it.
Got home, jacked the car up, and wouldn't ya know.... Whatever it was I hit SMASHED the drivers side header. Completely collapsed one of the tubes, and put a hole in the collector.
The worst part? These headers are only 2 months old. LG Street series. What a bad day..... I'm pissed!!
Just thought I'd vent, thanks for listening.....

That truly sucks, and I'm sorry for your misfortune. I can't blame you for wanting to vent! Hopefully everything will be able to be fixed up as good as new. I certainly don't miss driving on I80 - just too much traffic !!

Besides the money, it's a real bit*h of a job. I'm not looking forward to replacing it. Hopefully it'll be easier the second time. It'll be a winter project, the car is now in storage.
