Default cracked header

ok so my SES light comes on, take it to a mechanic and says that it is because my drivers side header is cracked and is causing my o2 sensor to go off.

he says he can fix it by replacing the header with factory headers (i would have to do both) but the car, when i bought it, came with edelbrock shorties.
since exhaust seems to be the first mod every one does, i figured id get it out of the way now.

But i wanted to know if it is possible to pass emissions with LT, Ive read the facts and they say no, you cant so stick with shorties, but ive read other stuff of people claiming that they have gotten away with passing emissions while having LT.

so what should I do about my current dilemma?

o yeah, i also need to have my car smog checked in a few weeks to renew the registration on my car.

I can pass in OH with long tubes and cats. You might want to check in the regional forum as well as here.

just a crack? It can most likely just be welded. Even if it's on the flange it can be welded and smoothed out. Unless you just want an excuse to put long tubes on
