Drop the header and have it patched. It might be a pain in the ***, but its better than buying new headers.

OMG...WTF?? What brand headers are those?? If you don't want to spring for new, a good exhaust shop can patch them. What is your A/F ratio?

Guess we'll need to postpone the run .

That sucks. Have they been on the car long, and did you get new or used?

Screw that have it patched, I had mine welded while in the car w/o any problems. You gotta love the sound of exhaust shooting straight out of the header tube. Grotts are a badass set of headers!!!!

Do they have a lifetime warranty or anything? I know a lot of manufacturers will back up their headers...but they might wonder what the hell caused a hole to burn through, and it would probably take forever anyway. Definitely time to check that tune!

Just an air tube broken off. No big deal, just have it patched.

Grots with a warranty? Roger dropped off the planet years ago.

IMO Grots are still "the best". 7 lbs per side, very smoothly bent, perfect fit. They're definitely keepers.
