i'm afraid i've got the cracked exhaust manifold that seems somewhat common
with these vehicles. anyone know of an aftermarket header for the 3.5l
gasoline motor (that is available in the US)?

thanks,

dookie

Aside from just getting a new one (after all how long did the original
last?) , you could also consider having it welded up. Since this is cast
iron, it can't be arc welded or simply oxy'd up. The whole thing is heated
up and then welded.
A lot depends on how much carbon is on the inside of the manifold.

Ask around welding / machine shops in your Yellow Pages. You may need to
have the flange ground flat at a machine shop. New may be cheaper.

i'm not talking about an OEM replacement manifold...you're right, that would
just crack again. 'new may be cheaper', which is why i'm asking about an
aftermarket header. got any info about the question that was asked
originally?

thx,
