Cracked headers

[captndave737]

We all know the headers, stock and otherwise crack. I've had mine welded a few times.

Earl Brown has stated that it's because the crossover pipe expands and contracts with heat which seems to make sense and I've thought that myself. Has anyone put a flex pipe in the crossover to eliminate the problem?

I just welded a gusset between 3 & 5 on the drivers side and a small one off of the #2 tube on passenger side due to a small crack there. They've held up for over 4 years so far.
