I've just blown my second OBX header. The first was ceramic and rusted out, this one was stainless steel and I blew out a weld.

I am ready to go back to stock, unless the comptechs cost the same or less.
Does anyone know all the part numbers I would need to replace this with the stock exhaust manifold? Anyone have a ballpark estimate as to what it would cost vs. comptechs? or i guess even vs. DC, but I really wanted to stay away from ceramic again.

If the header cracked, getting it rewelded shouldnt cost much at all.

6 speed headers will fit auto. auto will not fit 6 speed because the 6 speed headers have a bend in them to clear the tranny mount. i have 2 an auto and 6 speed but 6 speed headers not forsale.

i wouldn't even know where to go to get it rewelded. the hole in the weld is actually really small and right on top with what I'd assume was enough clearance to work on it without even taking the headers out.

any advice on where I could get them repaired in the tri state area?

victorvu - what kind of headers do you have for sale?

if you just want it to work and would like to make it cheap. and don't care about looks.

there is an epoxy for headers specifically and is good to 2000degrees or something like that. sand down the area you will apply it to around the hole and smeer some of that stuff on there. and turn the car on. the heat will cure that stuff and you should be good to go bro.

if u wanna get it welded I understand. but if u just want it done for cheap then try that method out. will be no more than 10$ and 20 mins of ur time

Any exhaust shop. Theyre a dime a dozen. Shouldnt cost more then a couple bucks (ie - not $100).

do you think a place like midas or meineke would be able to do it? would you trust them to do something like that if they could?

They would probably be more expensive. Theres got to be an exhaust shop near you that can run a quick bead over the crack/hole.
