Maybe the mugen professionals can answer this question for me, i posted a while back in the official mugen thread but not really anyone answered me. I was researching the mugen ap2 header on here, and it seems common for the header to crack at the headshield mounting points and the transmission mount points. How many owners have had this happen, is this a few isolated or seems to be the norm with the mugen headers. How good is King Motorsports on replacing these if you're out of the warranty period.

I have the fan switch and rad cap. I have noticed the fan comes on earlier, but other than that I can't testify to seeing a difference. My car always ran cool.
As for the thermostat, I was warned against it by a friend. His reasoning was based on the fact that the ECU is designed for a stock thermostat so having one that is colder does not let the car run at operating temp, therefore it is operating too cold. I don't know if there is any truth to that but I was too lazy to install it anyway.
