Default Exhaust Leak...what to do...

Ok so I know the stock manifold is complete crap and tends to crack where the two pipes flow into one. This is exactly what happened to mine. I have tried JB weld and JB stick weld. both of which didnt work. What should I do now? How hard is it to take all the intake stuff off to get to it to be able to weld it? Or should I try something else?

If you are going to replace it I would take this time to buy a header for it. Replacing them really isn't that bad. There are some cheaper headers on ebay that some around here have used and then there is the APN header I use and others use as well. Price ranged from about say $70 on up depending on what you get. My APN was I think around $120..http://www.ineedparts.com/auto-parts...-manifold.html
