Hey guys, have any of you seen this?
Attachment: File comment: Pacemakers, before installed. 24062009603.jpg [ 112.53 KiB | Viewed 103 times ] Attachment: File comment: Pacemakers, one week later. 30062009618.jpg [ 74.94 KiB | Viewed 98 times ] The weld has broken and there is now a hole in the headers. When revving you can see blue flames through the hole, and it backfires a lot, also sounds like crap. Is this something that will be able to be fixed up and re-welded? cheers

Yea it must be pretty thin... Which surprises me... I'm hoping it can be fixed because I don't have the cash to get another set, not that I would want to now.

I had exactly the same thing happen to my pacemakers. Must be a common weakness. Take your car to the local exhaust shop. Mine was welded up for $20 (I had them remove the badge though).
