manifold crack repairable? (pic)
I've noticed a hairline crack developing. Can it be fixed and be 'reliable'? Or do I need to buy another manifold?

Weld it and then send it to get Coated! Hopefully the coatings should prevent cracking from occuring again, or at least last a little longer before another crack occurs.

heheh thats because it IS new. I just edited a pic I took when I first got it and p'shopped a red line to simulate the crack. The manifold looks dark grey w/rust on it now.

Re: manifold crack repairable? (b20z)
Make sure the new weild that you use on it is the same type/metal as the old weild. Different metals expand at different rates when they heat up, and if you use one that isnt the same, it is garanteed to crack again right next to where it was weilded. Although since it is a tubular, and has been weilded, you probably dont need to worry about that. Just a heads up though
