Stainless steel headers
Was out for a run yesterday on my way back from belfast just coming off the rathbeg roundabout when I gave her a wee bit only to lose all boost and hear the noise of a chieftain main battle tank in full flight erupt from the front end
Limped down to cars n stuff to have a look and one of the pipes on my headers had split.
Heading down there today to remove the headers and repair
( Bummer too cause I was meant to be going christmas shopping with the missus )
I guess every cloud really does have a silver lining lol
All I need to figure out now is why it split

It's usually the ones with the flex in that do split, and its usually at the flex where it happens, quite common on Megan Racing and copies of it where the up-pipe and manifold are all one piece.
A decent stainless manifold with slip joins in the cross over pipes can be bought for just under £400 all in, and an up-pipe with slip joint about £125 these allow for the expansion and contraction that takes place without failing.

Yeah good old ebay but hey they will be fixed got them off today so getting them welded tonight wasn't the welds that had failed although there is a hair line crack at 1 of them, the crossover pipe had sheared about 10mm from the weld, the flexi appears to be in good condition.
I had seen the headers with the slip joints now I know I should have paid that wee bit extra life and subaru ownership just 1 big learning curve

Just so you all know this is where I bought them
Welcome to THS Performance
I have contacted them and will post their response here just in case anybody is considering buying from them in future.
Maybe just maybe they will respond in the way I want them to

Just received their response :-
Hello Rob
Sorry to hear that you have had a problem with one of our products. We have actually stopped stocking these manifolds as we had a few fitment issues. I do believe however that we may have one left. I will check. If we have I will get it sent out to you right away.
Again sorry for the inconvenience
Kind Regards
Ollie

looks like there are some good guys out there

I wouldent bother spending money welding them up and re fitting, I know a number of people who done that and not to long they failed again. Id put that money to a decent set.
