Strakes Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 2002 Legacy GT wagon. about 62000 miles. Stock/OEM Headers. Front left side header pipe cracked in half at the base of the y-pipe...where the two pipes merge. Sounded kinda neat...but to keep the neighbors happy I had a muffler shop cut and weld in a new section of pipe. Anyone else here have this happen to them? Are both right and left sides prone to cracking, or just the left? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I don't know how common you problem is....but I would say from an engineering point of view that the point where the pipes come together will have more thermal stresses, and probably over time the weld failed.
