Started hearing an exhaust leak on my GT350. Took it into the shop and this is what was found. Both headers were leaking at the flange. I'm not sure why this would happen. Bad welds? These are not cheap Ebay headers so I would have expected not having this issue for the money spent.

Nope. Stainless Works. I have about 30,000 miles on them. This is the first time I have seen this problem. I had the shop weld up the flange since I didn't have time to send them back to the manufacture to see if they would warranty them.

I’ll give my Stainless Work’s a look tomorrow, I have almost 22k miles on them.
