Quick update:

So I decided to call LG today and had the pleasure of speaking to Bobby.

He was very helpful from the start and told me that they tend to break b/c of the added weight. He offered to fix them at no cost if I brought/shipped the header to him. I'm in Dallas and maybe 30 minutes away so I will be doing that sometime soon.

I really like excellent customer service like this and will recommend LG products to anyone trying to make a decision.

Thanks Bobby!

I would take them both off and have the unbroken one cut and patched at the pipe as this may just break in the future with the block off plate on it.

I'm thinking about pulling these off tomorrow and getting them ready.

I've heard these are a pita to pull.

Your profile isn't filled out.
I'm sure that if you would have posted along with your thread that you were close by to Wylie? Texas where LG Motorsports is located that some one here would have suggested to have LG take care of the
air tube problem for you.
Why not have them do the complete job for you in house?
Surely they will cut you a break .
They would have your car in & out in no time at all.
Good luck.
