I have a leaking header, wow! So i have been offered some options by my service centre (my car is still under the warranty they gave me when i brought it) Option 1: Have my header cut up and fixed (similar to the work QV in London do) Option 2: They have a brand new factory header in stock that they will do for the same price as having mine fixed. What do you think? I know the factory header will fail again but i am not sure about the warranty on the fixed header.
I say it's a no brainer to fix your header, as long as it's fixed properly. Why would you want to put on a new one that you KNOW will fail, just a matter of time?
Good point There is an excess on the warranty, that is $500. This is what i thought also, but my parts guy at the service centre thinks they are the same. Do we know what the difference is?
Id go with the new one then. I was going to suggest spending that 'little' bit more and replace them both with some good replacement ones. But they will set ya back a few K! $500, plus install is not bad. I would just replace the one with that new Ferrari one now mate. When the other side ****s itself, then do them both then.
Thats the trouble. WILL it get fixed properly? Also with a new one, you almost know it will last for a few years before it cracks. I remember reading that the headers last way over 20K miles. Sure, some dont last as long and I am sure some lost MUCH longer before they crack.
Agreed, I have no idea if the fixed header will show a problem again. IMO The new header is a bargain, esp when you consider it is incl install Now i just need to find out if the new one they have is for a 2.7 or a 5.2.
$500 installed?? They are just giving it away arent they? Well, it IS under warranty you said? Glad to see they are looking after you James.
Yeah, they have had in in stock since Noah was a boy, I sorta struck it lucky that they have decided to have a clean out in the parts department and this has been found at the same time mine is needing replacement, stroke of luck. As far as being looked after, I'm not sure i agree with you, this is one thing that is in my favor, the is a list as ling as your arm that is not in my favor. I will tell you the story over a beer one time, we might have to make it a box of beer though, its nota short story.
Yeah, actually thought that they must of had the header sitting around collecting dust. Hence the price. I also remember part of the issues you had with them and your 1st 355. Make that 2x slabs of VB eh?
