Re-welding my Ramhorn???
it's very hard to see on my camera phone pics, but on a few welds on the runners they have minor cracks, they leak a bit, just wondering if I should junk the manifold or can it be re-welded? or will it just keep cracking no matter what I do? I believe it's made from sch 40 steel, it's a custom manifold I got for cheap, runners are a bit longer than a usual ramhorn I know:p

Looks like wretched penetration to me. You can weld the cracks shut, but I have a feeling you're just going to keep chasing them.

Cut it up into its origional pieces. Grind the **** out of them and re-weld it with a tig welder. Was that thing mig welded by a chimp? The collector looks fine

I'm sorry but for $7/bend it's not worth my time to cut anything apart and rework it.
