Default Warped JBA Header

Well, after 5 years it looks like my driver side JBA header has warped. It started with a tic that wouldn't go away. I replaced the gasket and it came back after about a week. I pulled it off and have it the "flat test" and it is warped. When I get back from RI I will have to have it machined flat again, lol.

I love these JBA headers but I wanted you guys to know they made it 85k miles and over 5 years without any problems and providing great sound/performance. It will only cost 60$ to have it resurfaced so it's not too bad.
