Cracked stock header
ok so i removed the stock heatsheild from the headers a couple months ago and last week i went to check my oil and i noticed a crack in the header. Would removing the heatsheild cause this to happen?

no, removing your heatshield will not crack your header, you have bigger problems, like an exhaust leak, get new headers.

It's not the best idea, but it won't hurt, everyone with AM headers never puts a heatshield back on, so they can see the headers
