Might be worth checking if you already haven't.
Agree. Burned through indicates excessive EGT's. I'd start with checking the EGT's at WOT once you have replaced the components. Making a call on faulty welding and/or design is too premature...imho of course .

I am no expert, but it sure seems like Vivid Racing are selling junk.

I am sorry to hear about the problems and hope you find a solution once and for all without too many costs.

Good Luck!

^i wouldnt be to harsh with dan/vivid because they havent responed yet. the post was just made yesterday, it was the weekend, not everyone lives on the forum 24/7.

the biggest thing is how they handle it today, there is obviously something wrong with the design etc if it has happened multiple times. i am sure dan and company will do whats right

i emailed him .. he said its installtion issues ... and he said that i must send the headers to him than he will check it

sending back the headers to him will cost me alot .. and i think all of us know that .. BTW am in kuwait so its more expensive
