The headers are not their fault. A lot of people get DC headers with bad welds. As far as the CAI I'm pretty sure when you check fitment on the manufacturers site it will say without fog lights. I know for the AEM V2 it says it. Call DC they have been working with everyone getting bad parts.

It was NOT written I swear but w/e... Also, prolly too late for the headers because its my mechanic (currently installing it) who called to inform me about the holes.

If he installs them wit holes u will end up gettin them removed and repaired. Stop the install and get the repairs done or call DC. They have been sending out replacements then u send back damaged ones. As far as the intake u can make it work, I've seen it done. Just have to be willing to cut your brand new intake.

For the invisible hole(s) on the headers that causes the leakage I really dont know what to do since I dont wanna spend much money on that reparation. Also, for the warranty, can I still get a refund even if the headers are already installed on the car? (the mechanic heard the leakage when he started the car AFTER THE INSTALLATION)

P.S: I wish yall to get better deals than this -.-

DC will send u a replacement header then just swap the new one for the bad one and send bad one back. Others have done this as well. Then take the replacement into a very dark room and shine a flashlight into it to look for pinholes.
