Exhaust Header Leak
Has anyone ever had to repair a small hole in their exhaust header? Mine is leaking just behind the crossover behind the motor and am wondering if I need to replace the hole pipe or if there is a quick fix of some sort.
Thanks

My fist question is how did you get a hole in your pipe ? I would weld it {the best way} or clean it up and use some epoxy puddy , the stuff you mix in your fingers , it should solve your problem.

I would take this opportunity to switch to duals
If there is a hole at the crossover then it is probably at the weld in the pipe itself. You can always find stock exhaust pipes on Ebay if you want a more permanent fix. Many of has have swapped out our stock exhaust. Heck I have a stock set from my 04 sitting in my garage....has 15k miles on them.

I don't really know, we just noticed that there was always hot exhaust coming out and looking at it more closely I believe it is under the heat shield. I was sure if one of the liquid metals would do it if I can even get to where ever it is coming from. Thanks for the advice.
