just got the longtubes after receiving them i noticed a small crack under the bead of the weld on one of the AIR fittings. i'm thinking about just grinding off the fittings and tig welding a plate to cover the hole. is this a good idea? i'm removing the AIR system anyways so there is no purpose of keeping the fittings and i will have to weld them anyways. And if i remove the EGR fiting off of the header and the rest of the system will it affect performance or just throw a code?
thanx

they are hooker longtubes, i bought them from a guy that used them on his car and then when he took them off the coating was coming off so he sent them back to jet hot to get recoated. the crack is just on the bottom of the weld where it looks like the weld never penetrated the header and left a very small space

My drivers side tube popped off on me when I was at the track. I had my Hookers on the car for less then 2 weeks when it happened. I'm gonna take the header off and have the hole welded up and reinstall the header.
The Hooker Headers are notorious for the welds cracking in that location.
