So, I'm getting ready to replace, repair and/or upgrade my exhaust manifold because I've identified two cracks/leaks in the original.
First of all, I'm have a nice MIG welder and I know how to use it, but I've read so much about people doing this and having it crack again in the same spot, or in a different place.
The Renix manifold seems so damn cheap (manufacture & quality wise, not price wise) and since there is no header made for a Renix model that's affordable. What are there in terms of an upgrade?
Seems that welding bungs for the EGR and O2 sensor would work fine, although seems like a PITA, but the downpipe and the way it hooks up to the exhaust is different too! So, I'm kind of stuck before I even start.
What do I have to do to get what I want done?? The HO manifolds are cheap by comparison. Open to all suggestions here!!
