Exhaust Manifold
My exhaust manifold is cracked at the collector. Should I have it welded or get an aftermarket replacement? If you suggest aftermarket what brand or brands should i be looking at?
Thanx!

If you are going to take off the manifold to get it welded, take off the downpipe that goes between the manifold and cat. Have a flex piece cut and welded into it. It will help with stress on the manifold.

As the exhaust crosses under the transmission bell. That cross over is like a big lever as the engine rotates. Factory style motor mounts are worthless.
