Exhaust header

I need to fix the holes in the exhaust header on my SII. They've developed at the welds for the flanges that hold the header on at the number 1 and 4 cyl. Has anyone else had luck welding these or is it likely that replacement is the only option? Does anyone have a good spare they'd like to part with? I bought one from Rick at SS, but except for the lack of holes, its not nearly in as good shape as the rest of mine (dented and seems thin).

Assuming I get it all back in order, has anyone had any experience with the commercial coatings like "Jet Hot" advertized in Hemmings or any other preservative measures? I'd like the repairs to last.
