Hello...

Before a couple of days I realised that there is a tiny crack at the bottom point of the headers. Durring a stop in a traffing light I realised some air flow producing heat into my leg, so I show that there is a very small crack in the headers. Its at the point that the two tubes are joining together. This crack has to be there since a while I think but without any negative effects at the motorcycle. Same throttle response, normal ignition, no "holes" at the revs. Except from a bit different sound from the mufflers the last months (when the weather became hotter) no other effect at all.

Is it possible to harm something else on the engine? Ι can't afford a repair or a pair of akras headers by now so that's why I am asking.

Thanks in advance
