POX on OBX!

Ok, now I need some advise. After reading everyones
thoughts about HS vs. OBX, I have a dilemma. I live
in the very cold, salty NE. I've had a Gen4 HS header
for just over 2 years and put about 50k miles on it.
After about 1 year it had it's first crack, at the
weld of course. I paid a very good, well known SR20
mechanic to weld it up properly. Four months later
the flex-pipe goes; a couple of the rings on the
inside had failed. To fix this little problem I paid
HS another $100 for a new flex-pipe and paid my
mechanic to cut out the old one & weld in the new one.
Then, less than 6 months later, I have another crack
at a weld. I've been living with it, an the exhaust
fumes associated with it, for over 3 months. What
exactly should I do? So far the HS has cost me about
$600 in less than 3 years. I would like to get a
header that is SS. BTW, when I complained to HS they
said that there was nothing they could do. Not even a
price break if I buy a new one instead of constantly
patching my current one.
