How do you think this happened?
Long story short, These are some Hookers that are pretty old. I noticed a weird sound coming from under my hood so I checked, and fire was shooting out towards my motor. I took off the Headers and here's what I saw. How in the hell do you think this happened?

might of been to lean
also could of been a weak spot in the metal and just over time after the pipes heating up and cooling off probably had a lot of wear on that one spot and it prob started as a little hole but as air passed through it got bigger

When we tried pulling out the driver's side header, we cut off the collector at the end. As soon as the collector was off, one of the primaries actually completely fell off of the header. Lol

Im going with the idea that the hooker emblem fell off and took some tubing with it due to the weld cracking along its outside edge.
Header companies usually label BOTH headers in a set, so i highly doubt an EGR port fell off and left a hooker tag sized hole

+1. This happened to my 11-year old Grotyohanns earlier this year. It cost $265 to have them cleaned up, the old emissions fittings closed off, had some welds strengthened, re-coated, and back on they went.

Some of these answers in this thread are plain silly
My air fitting was cracked (Hedman LTs) when I bought the car, then it started to open up further so I cut it off and welded a piece of sheet metal over the hole. Never had another problem out of those headers after that.
