    Cracked Exhaust Header...bogus ride?

    Here's the thing, I just found out I have the driver side header cracked at the union of the last cililinder port.

    Now the truck start behaving erracticly like if a sapak plug is missing.....mine is a FMT system.

    Is this possible, or I have another issue?

    just checked, good on the cable side.....

    Probably my bad messing with the SD tune

    IŽll try to take out the header and replace it for the OEM log type.

    any notable performance diference between a borla LS1 header vs the OEM log type in the FMT system?

I am new here..... didnt see that FMT in the first post... took me 30min to figure out what it was........
