Rock in Header

[FONT="Georgia"]So recently I got an exhaust leak... .

When I jacked the car to see where it was, there was a small rock sitting in the crossings of my header that pierced a small whole now my car sounds like a tracker/lawn mower.. .

In the pic that I attached were going to say the black part in the rock where the hole was pierced.

Do you think it would be easier to just fix the hole or just get a new header all together..?

I don't want to lose my DC header but Im trying to figure out the best route to go bc this noise my car makes, makes me not even want to drive it.

Thoughts?[/FONT]

take rock out and weld up hole.

I tried pulling the rock out and using a screw driver, the rock won't move at all.. .

I don't know what to use to get it out.. .

And I don't want to make the hole bigger.
