Dont feel like you made a bad choice on headers. They will all do that. I have seen Pacesetter, Hooker, Jet Hot, and Flowtech do it.
I am currently running some of the stainless ebay headers and Im waiting to hear the machine gun start firing under the hood

i have seen this before on here plenty of times.
i have had mine for about 4-5 months and mine have braceing around the air and egr tubes that i havent seen on any others so maybe its a new thing they started?
just weld up the hole.

I had it happen on both sets of PSs I've had. Either get the race header or weld a patch over it with a piece of stainless steel and it won't rust. I did the stainless patch about a year ago and no rust or problems since.

I have a set of Pacesetters that were the very first batch they sold. My AIR and EGR tubes are still solid. I've had a couple of friends who lost the AIR tubes on their Kooks.

no the 3rd primary tube off the header you can see the hole in the pic i attached click it... the guy fixing is is going to grind the hole out to a almost perfect circle put a patch in shape it to the curve of the header and tig it in place

Just happened to me on my drivers side the other day. I had the EGR version but with blockoffs so that could have contributed. Going to have it welded this week. Lasted me 3+ years of abuse.

So why is there a blockoff on the front hole in the picture isnt that the fron 02 bung? And is the hole were the egr also the hole that the air is im still confused?
Here is what I have and they will go on shortly I need front o2s and I would like to eliminate egr and Air from these headers what needs to be cut and welded shut?

This is the second thread in just a couple days with the same topic, and within each thread there are so many people saying, "Hey that happened to me too."
What kinda bullshit is this? I can't believe these headers are doing this. If this happens to mine you better believe the manufacturer will hear about it. This is obviously an issue that needs attention.
If you haven't contacted Pacesetter, PLEASE do and tell them this is a very common problem that apparently needs dealt with.
