My ARH's cracked at the welds after 7 months, which sucks, but whatever its not the end of the world. I just need to know of a good brand I can try out. I might consider going ARH again, but would prefer to switch it up while I'm at it. Not concerned about price, just looking for :
1. Power
2. Durability (something that lasts longer than a year!!)
3. Fit & Finish

Who else is out there for us?

Seems like something that might be replaced under a warranty? Can't imagine that's normal by any means.

If not covered just get them rewelded

I'll see if they can be re-welded installed. If so, that is a great idea. Otherwise, if I'm taking them out I almost don't want to put them back in. They shouldn't have failed so soon

I would definitely contact ARH, they stand behind their product better than that. Also, as suggested you could have the cracks welded depending on the location and accessibility that's probably the most cost/time effective route.

If full replacement is on your mind, Stainless Works has our nod for quality and performance on these Raptors. Their flanges are thick, laser cut and seal with RTV (no leaks). The grade and gauge of their stainless primary tubing is also top quality as far as headers are concerned.
