Go to an exhaust shop near by, take your headers off first. IM sure u know how to do that its the bolts on the head and the bolts with springs on your exhaust. Take it off take it to them and tell em to weld it.

A header will wear out like any other part on your car...if it has been on there for a few years you might need another one. Constant heat cycling will cause this, unless you get top of the line parts, be prepaired for them to fail. I just bough a megan header, and i'm only plannning to get a few years out of it. but for 200$ that's really all i expect.
