Fixin a Rust hole in a bbk header

[colklink]

If the sound isn't exhaust. Check your plugs. I just had a plug blow out on my 03 GT, and I had a ticking sound that sounded like it was coming from under the car right before it happened. Might not be it, but it would be something easy to check.

sounds wierd but if i stick my head into the driver side fender well.. I can here it clears as day.. Prob should chance the plugs.. 52k miles and there stock.. prob grab some wires to prob

i had this problem myself. i bought a set of used MAC headers and a MAC h-pipe. after ONE winter, they were rusted to hell. i bought a set of Pypes headers, pypes H-pipe (i don't recommend either), and flowmaster super 40 stainless steel cat back. i figure that the exhaust will outlive the car :lol:

sorry dont mean to hijack ur thread but whats wrong with pypes headers, i plan on ordering them soon

you need to do modifications to them to get them to fit, they arent designed very well. they rub the steering shaft, causing the steering to feel notchy. i've moved the steering shaft to the left a little bit, that combined with the fact that the steering knuckle has warn down a little has made things better. i bought a set of offset steering rack bushings to move the rack even farther, but i also need to replace one of my tie rods, so i was going to do both at the same time.

and the h-pipe looks like it was designed by a team of retarded monkies, because it did not fit without major modification. the shop i worked at had to put a few bends in it to get it to fit.

you can TRY JB Weld....ive heard people using it for exhaust leaks, but im not sure if it will withstand the heat a header creats...

man, I'm glad I live where salt on the roads isn't an issue lol, I'd hate for my headers to look like that.

I second the JB Weld suggestion, it may be far enough down the headers to work. Worse case scenario it burns up and you weld it instead.
We have fixed my fathers headers on his drag car several times by sanding the area down, welding, and then just shooting some high temp paint on them. It looks nice and gets the job done.
