Cracked Exhaust Manifold

[EWAustin]

Well, the exhaust manifold on my MR2 is cracked, almost all the way around the #4 cylinder's runner. I'm searching as I type for a header to fit my car, but the prospects don't look good.
Has anyone ever had a cast iron exhaust manifold repaired? How well did it work? Did it crack again?
Thanks,

The only way to repair it is brazing. I've brazed an MR2 manifold in the past, but managed to get a good stock manifold before I had to use the repaired one. I now have a header set-up, so if your looking for a good stock manifold I might be able to help you out.....

I wouldn't recommend trying to repair the stock manifold. You're better off getting one from a junkyard.

go here http://www.trdracing.com/mr2_85-89/ they carry the TRD header for your car. $300 and shipping. I would go with the header if the budget allows.

I'm really tempted by that TRD header, but that's %50 of what I paid for the car, so I think I'm gonna stick with a stock piece for now.
