 After trying several patching compounds I'm coming to the conclusion that a full exhaust header replacement is likely the only way to fix the cracked welds at #4. My plan is to replace the stock header with the part from Delta.

This does *not* look like a fun job. I have been reading the tricks about how to nudge the motor to the left, etc. But even with an extra inch of clearance this looks to be a PITA.

For example, I don't see how to get the header out/in with the steering column in place?

I have a full car lift available but it is not convenient. The alternative is ramps. How much of this job can be accomplished from above vrs contorted below?

Any suggestions, encouragement, or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
