Well Santa, for the most part, flames out of the header is quite 
normal. Its just unburnt fuel being.....burnt. A good extreme example 
of this is a top fuel dragster at night. Lots of flames. Another good 
example is a racing rotary engine. if you've ever seen the GTO - GTU 
cars run you will see flames shoot out of the rotary engines exhaust. 
Its just unburnt fuel.

Do you have a header on your car or do you mean the exhaust manifold? 
Well, either way, you should be able to remove it and have it welded to 
fix the crack.
