that didn’t crack on a weld. the fabrication is not the issue, judging by where it cracked (right near the bolting flange) it could have been one of a few things:

1. poorly supported exhaust downstream
2. bad material
3. bad motor mounts, too much torque for motor mounts
4. insufficient flex in the system after the header. I see nothing wrong with that header.
