I finally butchered out me leaking extractors, walked them too the exhaust shop, $15 later the crack was welded up and a new joiner piece was made, too.(Had to butcher exhaust to get it off).
Now I have refitted it all, and the car hasn't gone this well fer ages.
Its amazing what a big difference in performance is caused from a leaking extractor/header pipe. I guess it don't suck right if its leaking??
It feels like I have a bigger engine, wish I'd done this a while ago :)

:rofl: Its amazing what a difference without crack .

I thought You gave up for a minute , Turns out you just repaired the pipe ! hehe

Sirously Though Does make a big difference without a leak around that area , Just shows how important The design of extr /manfiold are to
engine Performance , An interuption to cylinder scavengeing can cause pretty average performance ,

Gary's comment our club forum was good. "It's never good to have leaking from your crack" or close to that :rofl:
but yes, I was very impressed with the performance improvement, christover
