How Cracked can Headers Get?

...really cracked

They were cracked a little before, but this was from less than 10 miles of really rough road.(!)

Is it normal for them to split like this?

Oh, and these only had 60k miles on them.

is there support on the down tube?
seems it wouldn't have shifted that much if there is support.

Wow! Broken exhaust hangers? How are the engine mounts?

 

[Cruiserlab]

Nothing broken, AFAIK. I was reading in another thread about how these crack due to lack of support on the downpipe. I belive it now!

Hopefully this will get me home with a little less noise
