Cut header for vent
In a non load bearing wall can you completely cut out the header between 2 16OC studs?
i need to fit a 4" vent pipe to travel through the joist ceiling cavity.

You should know that we arent going to just say yes without some photos and a better understanding of why the header is there and what it is supporting.

Attached.
it's not supporting anything above. There are another 2 studs to the right. So, basically as long as it's solid to put drywall on after:

I could potentially put wood back after and above a little bit if it really needs horizontal support/strength

Is it a "header" or a "double top plate"? Do you know the difference? You may know what's up there but all I can see is the plastic.
