Default header leak

hey guys i have header leaks on my car and yesterday i went to get it fixed. the shop that i went to told me that they couldn't cut out the dented parts on the header because of the way my header is. so i just decided to have him weld close the header leaks. after that was done i drove my car but it still sounds like i have a header leak, though it did get quieter. is that "sound" due to the fact that my header is dented or do i still have a header leak? Thanks

did you check other places like where the header and the cat meet, or where the cat and the b-pipe meet?

buy new headers. are yours stock?

dented headers are no good. just spend the extra money and buy some new ones.

why is your header so dented?

I'd like to know about the header question, too... from what I've heard, it should fit.

all b series headers bolt onto each other. but its the length of the downpipe to the cat that people mostly are asking. in tahe caes. u might have to get a exahust shop to weld a peice of piping on, or get a test pipe that fits or something.
