yea i know, but i think he was saying there may not be a leak, just condesation at the collector there. i dont think this is true, as i can feel and hear a leak there. the other header isnt doing this. i was curious if anyone else had this problem and if they ended up getting a replacement.
Correct. Wow that sucks. I've had mine for almost 2 years and haven't had a problem. Did you notice that exhaust leak sound right after installation?
yea i did. could hear it right at the collector, so i checked the clamp for the y-pipe right at the collector, but couldnt feel anything there, and for the hell of it checked all the other band clamps, all were fine. so i figured id just drive it for a few days, and go under see where the stains are. this is what i found.
This problem just happened to me recently to my driver side longtube header and its a stainless steel, imagine that. My solution, I bought a exhaust leak sealer from Auto Zone made specifically for this kind of situation. I applied it inside where the runners, and collectors meet. I let it dry for four hours and btw the weld will actually dry quicker if expose to heat. I pressure test it w/ water and no leaks. Saved me headache, time and shipment cost dealing w/ the company that made my header.
