Default anybody crack a header from racing?

so today i finally redlined my car (after 2-3 years), yea it was ok, i bounced off the rev limiter a few times.

However after i smoked the gay effing caddy, engine noises started being more apparent.

It was deep like an exhaust leak. I just FIXED my exhaust leak after 1 year of saving up for an exhaust. I got a DC sports ceramic header 4-2-1.

Because its only like -2 outside, im worried that i maybe cracked my header, is this even possible? i didnt connect the lower support bracket. Before all i could hear was the deep exhaust tone from the rear of the car, and it was very quiet, now its kinda loud too in the front of the car. AHHH anybody have this happen? i just wanna make for sure before i start flippin!

Did you try starting the engine, opening the hood, and figuring out where the noise is coming from? What if it isn't your header?

thats the power of vtak y0!! haha j/k what you are saying is possible esp if its an older dc header, if it was extremely hot, and then some water/snow/ice got on it, there is a chance it could crack.

like i said thats the power of vtak y0 phew i can resist, on the real have you contacted DCsports to see if they offer any type or warrenty? or if they can replace it at a minimal cost due the fact that it is so new, also try speaking to the shop you got it from.
