Default pacesetter lt air pipe broken!!!!!!

i just got bake from the muffler shop. they fixed my header collector leak, but it was still puffing. i poped the hood when i got home thinking i had a header flange leak. i was going to tighten the header bolts and notice the driver side air tube had snapped off of the header. what can i out on the hole to fix it?

i bought these headers new and they have been on the car since december.
is there some kind of warranty on them?

Well if emissions isn't a problem where you live, then just have a weld shop weld the hole shut, or you can rig up a small pipe to "jerry" fix it.

i plan on getting a TSP catted y latter this year, so i need to keep my air.

last night i cut a 1/4"X2" strip of exhaust tape, bent it in half stuck in the hole. then i put some JB weld on it. it seems to be holding pretty good.
