How much will it cost or be around$

How much will it cost to fix my cracked exhaust headers and to fix the rattle. The rattle came from when I hit a speed bump and pretty much domlished it. Kinda of dangling a little. Now it rattles like crazy.

It's obviously going to depend on how much damage you're talking about.

It may be cheaper to just replace the headers.

if it can be welded it shouldn't be too bad. You're gonna have to pull off the header and see how bad it is realistically though

Replace Headers and call it a day.

The headers have like a hair line crack isnt to bad. Just making a ticking noise. As for the mufflers the one on the left side is maybe sitting an 1/2 inch lower than the right.

As the others said I would just replace the bad header/manifold if it's got a crack, mine had a hairline crack that I couldn't even seen unless I put a light to it but it was annoying as hell. If you just want to replace the bad one with a stock one they are like $100 at autozone and it comes with gasket and new flange studs. I did both of mine and it took like an hour a side just depends on how easily your bolts come off.

As for the muffler hanging a bit low, a muffler shop could re-hang it for 20-30$ depending if you go to a chain store or a hole in the wall.

If your paying to have the header welded it would be alot cheaper to take it off yourself, the shops charge way to much and by the time they got it off you might as well have a new one put in.

I'd get it off yourself, a shop will weld it for roughly $30. Beats buying a new one to end up having the same issue in the future.
