Now I need to figure out what to do about those leaky slip joints..besides buy a new header ( @ CSG Mike @ AceHeader-MT)..mines only 2.5 years old! 
I'm open to suggestions! |
A simple fix to maybe solve slip joint leaks (cheap and easy):
- Use a pipe expander, crank out the inner tube and apply furnace cement. Then insert back into joint.
Furnace cement will harden and look ugly but if you ever want to remove (or sell) just wire brush and it'll come right off, no damage to tubing.
Outside of that, I can't think of any simple solutions. Welding them would be a bad idea.
Good luck and hope it works out. Any questions let us know
