What would you do with this header...
Hey i have a 2000 ex with 4 2 1 dc ceramic header and i have a crack on it, so i am going to put my stock ex header back on... How much is it to port the stock header, is it worth it? Is it hard to put the header on, i didnt put the dc on? Thanks

Ex header + Dremmel + 2" collector > Dc Sports.
There's some DIY guides to porting your header. Do a google search.
With a bigger collector you'll have a great header.

well if your gunna sell it just put header wrap over it and call it good. 
IMO id just throw it away and put the stock back on. header adds no value to selling the car.

honestly, the closer to stock you make it the more money you will get. no one really wants a car that has been messed with. id rather buy all stock than something with a header anyday

wont hold up to the heat.
they do make stuff that i found works pretty well, although it is tricky to make work. i dont remember what its called and im too lazy to go out to my garage. they sell it at autozone. comes in a little jar. it is rated for up to 2400*f. its about $7 or something. if you do it right, it works. im actually in the process of using it on my stock manifold right now.
you have to apply it, let it set up for 3 to 4 hours, then heat it slowly for 15 minutes to cure it. that is the hardest part. heat it too fast and it bubbles, and you have to scrape it off and do it again. with a heat gun it should be easy, but i dont have one. running the car gets too hot too fast. i tried using a salamander heater(obviously off the car,) but i got too close and it bubbled. gonna try again tomarrow a little further away.
i have used it before with success. and it holds pretty good too as long as you cure it just right.
