Used UEL gruppe S header - welded

Thoughts form anyone who knows. Any value in picking up a used UEL header that has has a couple of pipes re-welded to the mount plate ?

It’s a decent price.

Thanks

The weld job itself looks decent. Since it cracked once, it may eventually crack again. If the price is right go for it.

Looks pretty good to me, but I'm not a welder. I would also suggest posting on the mechanic help subreddit as they'll likely have more welders there respond.

Did they use the correct filler rod/wire?
