Hey everybody,
       My headers are going.  Where the pipe attaches to the 'manifold' part,
it has separated at the weld and is leaking.  Apparently, the pipe overlaps
the manifold a bit, and the pipe is quiet until I hit the gas.  Then the
resulting pressure pushes it out and causes a good racket.
       I haven't called Peter yet, but I will.  Has anyone else had this
happen?  And why did this last only 2 years?  I want to hear any and all
stories and solutions.  I'm really ticked-off about the whole thing.  I
should have gone with the damn subaru.  $4000 for a continued pain in the
azz.  Anyone have another source for SA parts?   AAAARRRRGGGGh, this thing is
driving me crazy.
       Now I am going to wrap duct tape around my skull so it won't explode.
