Typical with the damn things.  Where's good to buy that OBX header?

Are they going to replace or repair it?  If repair, is it going to be
recoated (with that pseudo ceramic crap that flakes off) or just leave it
bare metal?

2nd time mine broke, I fixed it myself.  A local muffler shop had flex
couplings for $25.  They sold me one, but didn't want to mess with the
repair themselves.  I cut the old one out and fit it to the pipes.  With it
all reinstalled in the car loose, I drilled and screwed both ends of the
jointe to hold it in the desired location.  Then took it back out and got
it welded (free TIG job by mil-certified welder at work).  The
re-re-installed the whole fucking thing.

So, where's good to buy that OBX header??
