Default DC headers SUCK!

Well, I made the mistake of buyin a DC 4-2-1 Header for my 99 EX, and now, like all DC headers, I GOT A ------- CRACK! The crack is right on the end of the weld coming off the head. Are these headers able to be tack welded? Reason I ask is becasue I dont know a thing about welding at all, and the fact that they are ceramic or ceramic coated, one of the 2. So if anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.
