Re: (redxalien)
Mig welding the manifolds will work, but don't plan to get full penetration. Therefore, reliability will be just a matter of how long till you have problems. Maybe a month, maybe a couple years or longer. I'd definitly not reccomend mig for them if you plan to sell them. For yours, it's not a big deal since you can repair the cracks easily.

Not true.
