On mine there are cracks by the collectors (both headers) were the tabs for fastening the headers to the car are welded on. See pics below (you can click on the pic to enlarge for a better view.
I am sure Mitch will make it right for me.

Re: DEFECTIVE FLP Headers Replacements (NavyC5)
Hello Navy.
Mine are on the car also.
I have removed the tabs, and made a patch, tested it yesterday and it is holding. So I can still make the track days I have already paid for and drive the car.

Re: DEFECTIVE FLP Headers Replacements (Rollin Black)
Sorry to hear about all these problems. I was considering a set of FLP's, can someone enlighten me on the problem(s) with these headers? Has the vendor fixed the problem on new headers, or are they still selling defective units?
