The passenger side header cracked and felt off. Flame sparked out at the collector. Get stuck here in Tracy. Waiting for a tow truck now

Tracy, CA I am guessing...



I am a hop and a skip away with my truck and a trailer if you get shafted with the old "too low for a tow" line.

Thanks guys! I got home from 42 miles tow. Not too bad. Will have to take off the header this weekend for a weld.

E55
My passenger side header just crack too, but I managed to drive to the workshop for welding, and found that there are cracks at the primary cats as well.
