    Help! I need a new or good-used 308 QV EURO header. Primarily need the front one (5-8 bank) but if priced low enough, I'd go for the rear one too. Respond ASAP if you know of, have a lead, or have to sell.

    My mechanic tells me it looks like simple age and metal fatigue - a crack up near the head bolts running almost all around the circumferance. It is okay at idle, but when the car warms up it opens up, throws the timing all off and makes backfires and the entire rear bank (1-4) appear to shut down.

    The header can also blow out if you have something else wrong that causes large backfires - such as disconnection of the little yellow wire that connects both coils - but mine seem to be a cause not a symptom.
