cracked driver side header
I have a cracked driver side header at the flange to the cat. Anyone have stock ones laying around that they can part with. Let me know thanks.

Alternatively, try a decent exhaust shop- You would be amazed at what they can weld up for short money. A few years ago on the 05 E320 we had one of the cats cracked badly... $150 and 2 hours later it was good as new. Even our local MB dealer usually suggests trying exhaust shops for cracks/leaks since they know almost no one will buy a new piece for retail LOL

I snagged a used one in good condition for less than a hundred bucks, shipped...if you are willing to replace it yourself, that is a better option...from what i understand they are just a PITA to maneuver out and back in..

Check your motor mounts. Worn mounts cause excess engine movement and caused cracked exhaust manifolds. It's very common.
