Default Header welding in Michigan?

I have a set of CMI E tops that have three leaks I need fixed. One in the head flange and 2 in the collector. I'm in Northern Michigan and am looking for someone good that can fix these right! Any suggestions? Anyone know if Valako does this?

Know anyone in MI that can presure test CMI's? I'm not sold on sending them back to CMI as I had a friend have to resend them 3 times to get them finally fixed.

You can test them yourself. Eddie Young in the second post explains how to do it.

Yes sir, I can weld them if they are cracked in the flange area or in the collector. If they leak in the primary tube you may have to send them to cmi to be cut and welded $$. I pressure check them before and after. JimV
