I've heard about AC condensation dripping onto headers and cracking them after awhile. I heard a hissing after I changed my oil the other week and noticed it myself for once. Should create a makeshift rerouting tube to make sure the water doesn't just dump on my right bank headers or just not worry about it? Thanks guys.

Make something to divert the water! An exhaust leak is probably the most annoying thing that can happen to you while your stang is still driveable. I've been trying to think of something for the last 3 weeks. I have header wraps at the base of both my headers, you can't see the wraps which is what I wanted 'cause I think those things are just ugly, but so far they work, but I still want to make something that'll keep the water off the header.

Yeah I was thinking about just getting a fish tank hose and using liquid nails. If I figure out something that works and looks half decent, I'll let you know and take a picture of it.

There's a small hole with a black rubber grommet around it on the passenger side ( of my 98) and it drips onto my right bank of headers. My car just went in the shop to have some body work done. We'll see about this soon enough.
