It would be good to know the mileage people have, who experienced cracked headers.

It would be interesting to do a pareto chart of milage versus cracked headers. I would think we would see a higher incident of cracked headers among cars with higher milage.

I'll have to check in with your co-worker and fellow CL member TAMR_GUS98 so that he can chime this into this on his cracked header thread.
Nice Ryan. Now I need to do mine. Might be why some of us have had our headers cracking like, Glen has mentioned. Btw Glen, I had 80k on the car when my headers cracked. The headers were probably on there for about a year before it cracked. Mounts are definately on my to do list.

Yea, I don't dought it. Thanks for the offer. But after doing my headers twice, I don't think you can teach this old dog new tricks. I wouldn't mind the company though. I might even learn something. LOL
