Did you buy it as a certified used car, they usually have 100k mile warranty if you haven't modded it to much you could try to get it repaired by the dealer. If you have that.

You could get the crack welded. Take off the manifold and take it to a welder. Just make sure that when they weld it, the flange is bolted down to steel, or else it will warp and be no good. I'd say that would probably be your cheapest route. The stock manifold sucks real bad. Even if you get it welded, it's almost guaranteed to crack again somewhere else. I would get it welded and save up some cash to buy an aftermarket.

You can weld a cracked manifold. Make sure they heat it to about 600 and then weld. Also make sure they clean around the crack. If you need a stock manifold I have one in the FS section.

Buy a Steed Speed Mani, they wont break.

Even if you clamped down or bolted down the manifold will most likely get warped from the heat. Have them resurface it if you get it welded. I need to have one resurfaced so I know how bad it sucks with the exhaust leaks.

No, I'm a big guy. That's CustomMSP when he was here we would work on his car here at my house.

Never a single problem with my thunder header.

That's good to hear, I love my spool manifold. It has been on a few cars and been on and off of mine and now after that and the years needs to be resurfaced to stop a leak.
