Putting heads on today, I don't know for sure, but the crossover pipe has a little bit of play in it. It's got a stupid heat shield on it and I can't tell for sure, but peeked behind the middle part and I do see a braided stainless steel exhaust pipe in the fat section of it.

Think it's busted or not because of the slight play between the two manifolds?

Actually I just pulled the manifolds off of the crossover and then put one hand one side and blew in the other, spread it apart and no leak. So my conclusion is the heat shield makes the crossover stiff, but my shield broke loose and it wiggles a little bit, so that stainless steel braid really flexes..

Hey snipe, thanks for your offer man, I appeciate that. If it turns out it really is cracked because I couldn't blow hard enough (lol sounds sick) I take you up on that offer...
