Should I pull the head?

Ok I was taking the headers off my car earlier and I noticed # 7 spark plug is bad off. Real bad. The electrode is gone as well as some of the tip. Should I pull the head to check this out? The car idled fine, ran fine.

However I also noticed it spit a TC bolt also. The flexplate looks almost warped but I cant tell for sure.

Lately I have been having some terrible noises ay 1500-2000rpm. I thought it was an exhaust leak but Im having doubts now. I think something else could be wrong. However both my POS hedman headers were warped very bad. To the point I definetly was loosing tons of exhaust through the center ports. Also leaking down where my hedman lt flanges met the pipe.

I dont know Im so pissed off. I have had nothing but trouble out of this car since the new trans went in. Any help is appreciated.
