Default Hooker LT header EGR connection blew off hole the size of Quarter in Header Now what?

Seen it on here before, now it happened to mine. Will Holley/Hooker back this up?

Probably will just end up welding it up... Just checking to see how others welded up Hookers are holding up.


Thanks

Default Holley customer service sucks....buy some other LT header!

Called them this morning and I asked him about a warrenty and it is only a four month warrenty so if this happens to you, and you call them clowns on the tech line tell them you got it 3 months ago.

I asked them if they patched it or what, he said I needed a whole new header. I asked how much for just the passenger side an it was over 500$ for a coated LT header with shipping. I said holy $hit guess I am going with another company and he said "ok bye"

What a bunch of

I mean a guy works hard for this stuff should last longer than 5K miles!!

**** that! If you do not have emissions testing, just ditch the EGR/AIR and get Pacesetter Race Headers. They can usually be had for about $400 shipped. If you need the emissions fittings I would not know how to prevent the same thing happening with another set of headers.

If you had the egr tube blocked off that will happen on a mild steel header. If you dont run the egr order your next set of header wo/ fittings.
