Default Pressure Crack

Wud up guys I have a turbo manifold that has a pressure crack. I don't know if I should let some one weld it or buy a new one. Any suggestion will help. Thanks.

Is it a cast or tubular manifold?

If it's cast I wouldn't worry about it.

Ah I see it now. Greddy manifolds are notorious for cracking. So long as its not leaking through, I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get worse.

You can't really "weld" cast iron in the traditional sense, you have to do something called brazing.
