finally took my crappy ass header off today and took it to the muffler shop, so they could weld it together (making 2 piece in to a 1 piece because of horrid leakage). so i get it all welded, bring it home, put it on....
...and what do i hear, another damn exhaust leak.
so i crawl under and start feeling around. when i trace the sound to my cat (cheap ass straight through cat), i see a nice crack all the way around the back end of it.

:upset:
so now i have to find a bolt-on cat for less than $100 before friday so i can go to the track.
