Default Crack'd Apex'i Header!!! $500 Header is ready for the dump! Quick question.

How much do you think it would cost to have these welded up?

Will it still look good?

BTW, this is a Apex'i GT Spec 4-2-1 1 piece stainless header on a Y8.
It makes my car sound like a truck!

I dont think it would cost much to fix. I personally know a guy who professionaly welds for a living so for me it would be free. I wouldnt pay anything much over 20 bucks though. it would be like 10 min of work.

Regardless, this shouldn't be happening to a reputable company's top of the line header!

This happens very frequently when the header is hit or smacked from the bottom...or, if the exhaust is bumped from the rear...

OR, if you are running very high EGT's...

Apexi has had no issues with this GT manifold line since it's release, however, they did discontinue the D-series piece due to lack of popularity vs. the rest of the applications

When/ where did you purchase this?
