you can but it will be a temporary band aid, might as well upgrade to a better flowing unit or just find a good used one that has no cracks from a parts yard if your on a budget.

Yes how else do you think you would pull the header out from the car?

if you have ramps you can do it that way, but it wouldbe a real headache to get it without getting it up in the air.

DX manifold I take it? If so I would weld it, if you get another OEM one it will crack eventually. That's why I converted to the EX manifold.
