CMI headers leaking....HELP
Does anybody know a welder in the Houston area that can work on leaking CMI's? These are split top headers and have a pin hole leak on the inside.
Thanks

After hunting around for someone competent, some other members here steered me to a company here in FL. I had mine fixed by Superior Fab & Welding in Punta Gorda FL. Nice people and "Chuck" did an excellent job. Their number is 941-639-2966

IMO, it is not worth the risk to go local. There was a period where CMI lost the end of the string on QC and a period where the Mercury specifified product failed. If rigged correctly and used in fresh water, they should last I long time.

I allway think a bit more away!
When header get a hole,i ask me why! It is no problem to weld and make leakproof!
But i think when at one place comes a hole,the rest from headers can get a hole next time!
When material is bad at one place ,the rst is also very thin!?
I would not take the risk to get next time new hole and water in engine!
That only my meaning,but what you think about it?

I just sent mine back to CMI last week. I've read on here their cost is pretty reasonable (3-400) so that just seems like the easy answer.
I think I am going to send them either every year or every other year going forward.
