Default Crap have a HOLE in my HEADER :(

ok well find out i have like 2 or 3 holes in my header, take it to a exhaust shop and they just suck at WELDING, they said they cant really get to it...

so it sounds alot better than what it did but i hate it!!

today at work i tried to take it out on the driver's side and forgot which way to take it!!

cause i was oging to JBweld the spots!!

any clues on how to get this thing out or if possible to fix>?

Randy

The driver side goes in from the top, so it should also come out from the top. Thats the "easy" side you just gotta pull the cold air intake, valve cover, spark plugs, unhook it from the Y pipe, steering linkage and then pull it out. The driver side is the part where it has the slip fit, so its actaully two parts. Mike at Icon Auto Sports is right down the street from you off of Murphey and Stafford run, take it to him and see what he says. Its gonna be a bitchy bitch just to get 1 new long tube...
