cracked AMS headers revisited
Some of you may remember my previous post last year about my AMS headers being cracked a year after installation. I got them rewelded and the flange flattened and put about 8,000 miles on the car since I had them reinstalled. I've noticed in the past few weeks that I have an exhaust leak when I start it up in the morning. I poked around under the hood yesterday and I'm pretty sure my passenger header has cracked again! At this point I'm sure its a design flaw or improper materials were used.

I hate to hear this as well. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have gone through all of this with your headers.
With me running basically a copy of the AMS headers I will be keeping a close ear and eye on mine.
What are you going to do next?

Well, mine is going on a year and 8 months now. Hopefully nothing happens to them. I drove my car three days a week to work...knock on wood. Ceramic coating might help.
