Manifold cracks

How many of you have them, and do they sound worse than mine?
Im pretty much running open headers on one bank...

I come across those all the time. I usually just weld them up or replace them.

mine sounded the same. i got some banks headers and it is so much quieter and has a lifetime warranty so if the welds break, which they will with time, i get free ones no questions asked.

My manifold has welds on top of welds and is still a bit loud. I have a brand new header laying here for it, just don't feel like messing with it. 338,000 miles on it and I don't like breaking manifold bolts. Your's is just super loud, I'd get a banks and be done with it.
