crack in 96 civic exhaust manifold

Z_ealot

anybody know of any places that can weld it up for cheap or if not, know of a place to get a california legal exhaust manifold for cheap? knew i had an exhaust leak for a while now, but couldnt track it down till i decided to check under the heat shield on the exhaust manifold yesterday and low and behold a nice long hairline crack starting at the O2 sensor and all the way up the center of the exhaust manifold. any and all help is appreciated if anyone know of a place in the southern california region.

its a common issue with those gens honda civics. Since it is recommended to remove the manifold to get a proper weld, might as well install a new one.

pretty much what im going for at this point as i've heard bad things happen to people who tried wleding them back shut. more or less at this point just trying to see if anyone knows of a good, relatively cheap replacement that's california smog legal?
