An ELH might have better luck w/o the flex section though because the expansion angles might be different. I don't really have any experience with them. But trying to convert from flex to straight may not work. Certainly a sleeve would be better, not only because it handles expansion, but because you might have an easier time getting the repaired header to fit.
I'd give the repair a shot simply because the gaskets I was talking about that would leak on the ULH don't exist on the ELH. Just don't drop a ton of money trying to fix it, because you might end up just needing a whole new header.

Thanks for you help. The repair would take around 3 hours and it's 90 bucks and hour. A new quality header cost between $1000 to over $2,000 like the one above (

I don't want to gamble $300 bucks but spending another $1000 to rebuy another one is something I want to do even less.
