hey guys, i had my ITR header shipped to me, and i found 4 small cracks on the bends of the 2 inner runners, 1 on each side of each runner. i will post pics later today, but can these be fixed, and sealed correctly?
thanks guys

like hairline or open wound?

clean really well and try jbweld for a hairline...

 

its a fine hairline crack.... however, i know JB weld is good... i really dont want to do that... if its possible to have it done clean with welds, id much rather do that, regardless of price.

 

yea, jus have a bead layed over the hairline crack.

i dont personally do this.... what kind of place do i take it to have it done?

 

where did you buy it from ? if you bought it from a place on the net i'd send it back or i'd talk to ups

 

Firstly, UPS didn't crack your header. This means it was a well-used header. Any local welder can fix it, probably will cost less than $20.

 

ok, first of all, UPS did crack it... i was mine, check my sig, i had it sent from my place in key west, to my place in Miami... also, it was insured so they will be fixing it... so i just need a welding shop to do it? thanks guys

 

have them replace it then, lol...

 

they will, but they dont replace it, they just reimburse you for it... but its for sale... my problem is, i went to deliver it today just to find there were cracks... so i felt really bad that i couldnt give this guy what he expected to have... so UPS will take care of it... they usually do

 

i hope you then insured it for the retail value...

 

i dont know what retail value is, but it was insured for enough

 

take some pictures

 

how did you pack it? I find it hard to believe that UPS cracked one of those headers.

haha thats just funny.

 

i love h-t

 

when i got it, the box was crushed on one side and had a large hole in the crushed corner... i love how people on h-t are so quick to accuse something of fraud... oh well, doesn't hurt me what you think

 

Brendan is a cool kid, he is nice. He is tall. Blonde and is a kid. Help him out.

 

i dunno how well jbweld will stand up to exhaust temps, i would have it rewelded insetad

 

JB weld is some good *** ****..My boss used to have to use it on the bottom of a kettle that was exposed to an open flame..Im sure it can handle ur exhaust temps.

 

any exhaust shop should take care of it.

no more than a dub

 

Your down in Florida right? Take it to an airplane shop and have them tig it.
