Looks like you might need to get bigger wheels or raise up the car a bit Shaun. But seriously it takes a lot to put a hole in a header. There is no real good way to fix this that I will recommend. It will need to be replaced.

Start looking for another one. Check out the classifieds section. Raspy is no good!

As I mentioned, there is no real good way to fix it. JB Weld is not something you would ever catch me using. It is only a quick fix at best. But whatever floats your boat.

If you have a hole in your header, dont use JB weld...

Just take it to a muffler shop and have someone weld something on top of the hole. Or get one of those muffler wraps from kragen or autozone.
