48211, Exhaust Mani crack?
Posted by fasterGS, Apr-03-03 04:30 PM
Anyone ever have their stock exhaust manifold crack? Mine cracked right in between the #2 and #3 cylinders, its a V and one side goes all the way around to the bottom. I was just wondering if this was common or if I am just lucky?

Yea I found out while the header was put on my car that my exshaust manifold had a crack....must be a weak manifold if its cracking so easily....that or alot of the heat exiting is getting trapped right in that area from the way its made
