[QUOTE="ArchdukePoland, post: 15286273, member: 179208"] I purchased a set of 2" x 3 1/2" Kook Headers from Lethal Performance for my 2014 GT500. When they came in, the driver side tubes were not flush because the tack weld failed. I contacted Kooks to inform them of the issue. They were very kind and told me this is typical for race cars, and assured me that it would make the installation easier, especially when having to remove the headers on a frequent basis. The four exhaust tubes converge to a collector which isn't welded together. I consulted with two of my friends and they recommended getting the header re-tacked so that the tubes are one continuous fixed component. I wanted to ask the SVTPerf community if anyone has had this same issue with the tack weld failing? If so, did it make the installation easier? Let me know if you think I should get the tack welds repaired or install as is. Apologies for the large picture. I am not sure how to make it smaller.
