Just installed my header on saturday... Was driving today in medium traffic going about 40mph, I glanced over into my blind spot and started to change lanes when THUMP, hit something... Car starts to sound like a lawn mower. Just looking for some advice. What I really want to hear is that it's not that bad, and it can be fixed. I'm so angry I could die. 400 Dollars out the door on this one if it's unfixable. Even if it's fixable, what kind of loss of performance should I expect? This is driving me crazy right now. Thanks guys

 

What brand did you get? your header is done, unless you are desperate and weld a piece of metal to patch the hole.

Was editing this post as em12nv posted his advice.

 

You might be able to weld it. I know of someone that weld theirs but from the top. He said it didnt lose power.

I think the company is called "High End"

Let's hope so, I'm gonna hit the muffler shop tomorrow and see what happens

My car is embarassing to drive, I was tempted to just call AAA to tow it.. haha.

Thanks dude, lol.

 

which dealer did you buy it from? i doubt any dealer of the product would just cover something that they have no control over. this isn`t like a manufacturing problem. better yet, why don`t you contact highendautosports.com?

 

That is easily repairable man. I have done worse. With a little finesse and cold slow welds, it can be fixed without even changing the ID of the header.

I don't get what you're saying....?

 

where did you get the header?

what the hell did you hit to make a huge hole like that?

 

ouch that sucks a fatty.

it doesnt look TOO bad, im sure a muffler shop could fix it.

I dont know, traffic was kinda heavy and I was in the middle lane. I was too pissed to go back. However what I saw in the corner of my eye looked like some kind of strap system for a truck... Belts and what not. I swear that's what it was, and maybe there was something under it.

I bought it at logic motorsports in anaheim!

 

it was already dented to hell.

get a megan header and save your money.

 

man im just riding in header, i got 2pc JG Eldebrock headers and somehow the upper part where you adapt the bottum pice snaped off. liek the welds broke off or something. i guess its from noice vibration or too hot or something to make it break off like that. yours dont look as bad. i hope some shop will be able to fix mines.

 

It is definitely fixable. You could have someone cut that section of the runner out and replace it with a new piece of tube. Maybe off another header that someone dented on the bottom. Get a good welder to take care of this for you

 

Did you get the header from Mike @ HighEnd or did you buy it off someone? If you bought it from Mike then go back to him and see what he says about it. He offers lifetime on the FIRST owner. You cant buy it from someone and hope for the warrenty. His a cool guy.

We have made good power with this header (4-1)

 

u bought those on saturday and the alrdy rustin..... and wtf did u hit..

 

never heard of the name brand.. price is to much for the headers bro.. could get something like greddy..but damn thats some crazy *****..good luck man

 

Its fixable. I wouldn't just throw it out.

You obviously don't know anything about allmotor builds. $400 is not expensive for a HighEnd header. Greddy sucks donkey dick.

I called High End, you're right they're very cool. There isn't much they can do, the header was not faulty. He did offer me a deal on a new one though, so to them. I also called the dealer, I'll let you guys know what happens

 

good luck although i doubt your dealer would cover that also. might as well take the deal that HighEnd`s giving you then fix the one you have now and sell either one of them

 

your car sits so low...im sure your header will be ripped off by a speed bump soon

 

Thats why I got the Profab over the highend/rage/hytech tri-y. The header is basically lined up with the oil pan so the clearance is awesome and makes decent power too
