Ok I got a crack on my stock 98 civic exhaust manifold.

thsi is my daily driver so "get a greddy" or somethign liek that is out of the quesiton.

I'm probably sellign the car soon, so is there a "liquid weld" or somethign like that I can put over the crack that will fix it for a few months? Or maybe a year?

help in advance!

I doubt anything besides an actual weld would hold up to that heat.

I'd say if you can't weld it go look for a used one or look in a junk yard.

 

If i'm not mistaken thats covered as a factory defect. One of my friends got his 97 DX header replaced free from Honda. I would suggest taking it back.

That's good to know.

 

I think I might ahve too many Miles on teh car. It's got 215,xxx km's.

 

ha my exhaust got messed up in my accident and now the car sounds like a vw when i start it up.

 

I have a crack in my mani too. not too worried about it at the moment. not too big either. Im not sweating it tho.

 

You could try some JB Weld, they sell it at pepboys,autozone,auto barn.....
Only a few bucks and MIGHT hold up for a while. For under $5 its worth a try

 

there was a recall on them...i know MANY people (inluding my brother) how had this up here in canada (london, ontario) and went to a honda dealer and had it replaced FREE!! also, the ignition switch has a recall too. good luck!

 

yeah sometime my ign. sw. get stuck in the start pos.
