So how does anyone (including yourself) know that the "crap" welds won't last just as long as the "quality material" you mention? 9K miles with hard driving and no problems? I mean, just sayin...crap welds shouldn't even last THAT long. Others have had the headers for more miles than that. Maybe they aren't crap.
That's kinda my point. And that's why I installed them how they were. They aren't "crap" welds. They are crap welds. I've heat cycled these things pretty hard and have no issues yet.
