Ah crap, such a small pain in the backside.

Down by the merge the metal is a lot cooler, but I have to agree with you that after a few heat cycles, the JB might/probably will, crack off. You said passenger side right?lol.
I had a similar issue with my TTIs,but it started on the driver's side. I brazed it up with a specialty brass rod, from the outside.But it rotted out a hole beside it within two years. I used to run this car 4 seasons, and I guess that was hard on that area.I brazed 'em up twice and then said "whatever". Both sides have been ticking now since about 2010.
Good luck!

Yes, passenger side thankfully.
That's why I said "small pain" as it would be a big pain if it was the drivers side, and if it were the drivers side it would just have to stay that way. :D
This one is totally out sight between the tubes.

The passenger side I could actually drop down far enough without even taking it out of the car, but I think I will anyway, just to have a good line of sight on the problem area and make sure I get it all the first time.
