Cracked Headers(what else is new)

[IronEagle119]

Ok, I guess I'll try to get around to working on the exhaust leak, I know i have some nice cracks in the DS header, where should i take it to get welded, and about how much would welding header cracks run? Any estimates or info is appreciated, Thx guys.

The header is SS and needs to be TIG welded. Mine cost $60 labor to remove and install and $60 for the welding. They also cleaned it up and painted it a silver color. The weld has held for over 3 years I would guess.

I bought a replacement from Jack Cotton, it was about $100, exchange, as I remember, and it hasn't cracked again after three years. It fit without leaks and with no gasket, so it must have been welded while it was bolted onto a head, or a solid plate, to keep the flange from warping.
