Does anyone know what would be another way to detect header leak other than visual inspection that I could do myself?
For external leaks...
1) Look under the hood at nite. You'll see flashes if/where there's a header exhaust leak.
or
2) Spray soapy water on the header, you'll see bubbles if/where there's a header exhaust leask.
or
3) Get a 3' hose. Put one end on top of each header port and the other end to you ear, you'll hear if/where there's a leak

You'll need to take them off to check for an inside collector leak.
