Need some sweet welding skills if anyone can lend a hand. Might be a loss as its right on this 4to1 area

Megan racing has always been eBay quality. You get what you pay for...
Id say go to a muffler shop and have the weld touched up. If it happens again, grimmspeed port matched cast iron manifolds and stainless crosspipe...

Ok thanks. I will get to this after Christmas. Wife would be pissed if I worked on my car this year. Last year I went 4wheeling Christmas Day at Kaena point on the Waianae side until the trail ran out then out in reverse!

Yeah I would but it is hella hard. These 1 piece headers are a bich if I can't get the car high enough. My cruddy jack can barely do it(I get creative) and autoshop is closed. Good thing I got my roommates impreza street legal and he can't drive it still.

maybe it's not the header quality but the driving through Kaena point? this is not a new problem for any subaru. do you have a flex section in your up pipe or on your downpipe? if not then you can't really complain that the part sucks. live and learn

Ummm ok x2 troll fail on your half bro. At what point in time would someone ever try kaena point in a subaru? That was 1 year ago in a lifted dodge. Yeah there is a flex joint on the uppipe section. Yeah part sux but then again i did buy used so it probably lived its life.

yup troll 4 sho.... https://www.i-club.com/forums/hawaii...nt-fun-145890/
motor movement in a subaru is mostly vertical so a flex in the up pipe ain't gonna cut it. you need the flex in the down pipe to help prevent cracking the welds. also not using your car as a boat helps too.

All on stock headers. Sooo doesn't apply. Glad I took some of your time away from your family for you to look up those pics again. And as said before. I took Waianae side. So try again
