WOW.. that's nuts. I've never seen anything like that before on a NA car. it almost looks like that spot melted, or it was welded there and it turned loose. My best guesses would be excessive EGT's or low quality materials.

Glad I didnt buy it when I had the chance :)

I think we get more horsepower not just from the new headers themselves, but from the weight reduction of the stock ones!
