as you can see i didnt bash, i havent gone into investigation on what the actual problem is, and i simply asked if anyone has had an issue with their tomei uel bc i have not seen one horrible post about their product.

3. i know the reputation tomei has and the quality of their work/welds/bends.
4. i posted the thread before checking as stated through my posts on the thread
5. you guys are getting butthurt over a brand you have no association with besides running their parts
6. its a bad day for me, and im taking this pretty damn lightly on you both
7. dont forget my username, ill troll ya later

Relax man.

I don't run any Tomei parts, though I like them and have installed plenty.

When people search and see "cracked header" then see Tomei everywhere, we don't want them to have V1 Borla flashbacks before we know if you just botched an install, (it happens to the best of us.)

I don't think anyone was butthurt, just letting you know how to be the best possible member in this community.

Also, your day has nothing to do with ours. Check your PMS at the keyboard

clickbait title
to lazy to check for actual leak
wants to keyboard diagnose a header leak when not enough information is provided

I think this would've been easier if a thread started with more relevant information or pictures.

i also think that it could be from being worn in now, idk. the buddyclub always sounds like it has a exhaust leak, and i know for sure it doesn't, check it countless times myself and had others check also

So... you had a Buddy Club exhaust that sounds like it has a leak (when you are 100% certain it doesn't), yet you think your Tomei UEL has a leak.

How do you know it is a weld that has failed? You're just posting up a bunch of speculations without facts.

It's very simple, you have what seems to be a leak and there's really only 5 things that can leak:

1) head/manifold gaskets, either from improper torque spec or reusing old gaskets, or bad seal from gasket surface being contaminated
2) header leak from weld or slip-joint failure
3) overpipe gasket leak, same as #1
4) thin walled header making you think there's a leak
5) O2 sensors not properly torqued down

Figure it out yourself. A clickbait title just invites a bunch of noise and not actual answers to your question.

If I install a header and it's leaking, I do not assume it is cracked, especially if it's new.

Leak was solved?
