    Without a pic, its hard to tell exactly where its cracked.  I'd say on the weld !!!

    Is it common, i dont know, but if it is on the weld, that would be where most metal would , (if not welded properly), start to stress.

    That being said,  my header pipe cracked on the weld where the active exhaust valve, (international models)  meets the header pipe, 2009 FLHT.  I have heard it happened to others, just unluckly i guess.

    The good news,   it was a excuse to piss the active exhaust off , re weld a piece of stainless steel in its place, and de-cat the header pipes. Most  happy with the outcome !!!  pics below.   Cheers
