Lifetime warranty?

If you are going to stick with shorties, the JBA's are just fine.

The headers I got in Nov 1997, bit the dust 2 days ago.  I'd thought the flange at the downpipe opened when a bolt fell off, but it's a couple tubes, split in several places, and a couple welds are showing cracks.  Nothing in the way of the escaping gas, so I can drive a little bit, but it's loud.

What are the best options?  Stick with the JBA coated ?  other brands ?

Chime in - I've not followed the header market at all.
