Cracked AMS Shorty Headers

I took these off my car when I replaced them with Kleemann headers. They are both cracked at the welds as pictured. Looked like because of the exhaust shop that removed my secondary cats and resonator put too much tension on them. They could be rewelded and fixed. I know they fit the C55 and CLK55, but they possibly fit others. Whatever vehicles have the same part number stock exhaust manifold as the C and CLK it should fit. Make me an offer.

Sorry, not interested in the headers. Just want to recommend that you check your engine mounts. This was the cause of my headers cracking. I re-welded them at the time and they lasted me another 12 months (until I replaced them with Kleemann).

They've already been replaced. I'm pretty sure it was the exhaust shop. When I took the first cat loose it popped over a good 2" so it was under a good bit of stress.
