>>No one in my area would or could bend the small diameter header pipes.<<
If I were repairing that header, I would find an old section of exhaust pipe or an old busted up header and cut a piece out that has a suitable bend(s). I have MIG, TIG and Gas, but no pipe bender.
Google map shows a dozen Welding Supplies in the Darlington area. Surely someone in one of those shops would know someone that could do a small header repair.
