cracked header? need help
last night, i was making a few runs against my friends civic Si for the fun of smoking him... then i noticed my car was sounding like it had a whole in the exhaust and **** was rattling every once in a while. so i got under my car today and couldnt see anything wrong really untill i saw cracks where each bolt that mounted the header on, they are just straight cracks tho, so im not sure if the header is in fact cracked or the stock header is like that. im kinda new to this ****, so try and help me out.

There's a good possibility it's the flexpipe that's split. Without pics, it's hard to say, but check the flex section carefully. My Redline is bone stock and the flexpipe split in half with only 30,000 miles on it.

My stock manifold, you can see the expansion grooves at the bottom
Stock downpipe, the flex pipe is on the far right, I would check there
