    Holes in New Headers!

    I thought these were the good ones... Flowtech stainless steel shorty headers. Brand new from the box.
    Is this to be expected? Are these welds even any good?

    That sucks. I bought Chinese knockoffs of BBK headers. The welds are actually better than the BBK and only cost a third of the price.

    Are you able to get an exchange on the headers?

    I emailed the parent company, Holley. Waiting for a response. Honestly they seem really nice except for the holes, which is the most important part of exhaust.

    I’m sure a company as reputable as them would do an exchange. You’d think they’d QC it before selling it.

    I only see one hole there, would be pretty easy to swing by an exhaust shop and ask them to seal it up, might not even charge you, even if they do it would be $20 max. Welding inside a tube like that isn’t exactly easy though, and nobody sees it so as long as it’s sealed you’re good.

    I agree. Shouldn’t have to fix something new.
