Im baaack! (With a cracked header :/ )

Hey all-
I know I've taken a +/- 1yr hiatus from the forums, but I'm definitely still around and still lovin my ride!

So today I was wondering why my exhaust started to sound a little more throaty than normal (I've already deleted the secondary cats and resonators), and after about an hour, the full-blown crack occurred.

The machine instantly opened up to this beastly sound, luckily I was close enough to home to get back safely. Looks like the stock headers are coming out, so I may be in the market for some Renntech or Evosport headers, although I haven't heard of a tuner yet thats had no issues with their headers cracking. Any advice?

Either way, I took a lil vid for everybody to see what its like when this happens, and the real beast can peek out for a bit

Probably aftermarket seeing as how it will cost the same/maybe even less to do. God knows how damn expensive OEM parts are for this car...
