Rcm headers blowing
 
Hi I have a classic Impreza with rcm un equal headers and I was having fun in the deep snow and it cracked were one of the pipes goes into the collector so removed them and welded up the pipe but obviously cannot get the whole way round the pipe so it’s still blowing in the middle not really bad but bad enough I can hear it question is is this manilfold now scrap and I need to buy a new one? And is it ok to drive at the moment as it is?

You can drive with it but you would need to get a new set when you can as welding a cracked manifold is just a temporary fix...and it will definitely start blowing again when some serious heat/vibrations weakens the welds again.SJ.
