If you do a couple of things to them you will save them from cracking.. cut each tube where they are tied together and drill one of the 2 holes on each tube a little bigger(doesnt matter what size hole).. that way they can grow with the heat( they will expand so they need to slide a bit) or they worp .. looks good.. I built a ton of headers at Chrysler EDIT this is a set I built for my W-9.. totally equal on all tubes
