Well nothing like a cracked thermostat housing to kill your buzz on a good header install. God damn repairs cost more than the header and flex. Oh well, it could have been worse I guess.

I just replaced my T-stat housing a month ago. Its not a bad job. If you're down coolant already you can change it without draining the rest of the system.
Good Luck

Yeah its not expensive, I think it was around 40 to 50 for the housing and 17 for the stat, i changed mine while back and as Habman said you dont have to drain the whole thing.

Cracked Thermostat Housing - NikiterZTS - 03-29-2007

Well the housing is plastic so I can see it doing it again.
