>Went to the list to check it out as over this weekend my manifold 
probably was cracked at one time but now is completely severed.� Mine 
is on the right side of the engine (looking from rear to front)where 
the tubes are shorter.� I can see the break goes thru the weld which 
I suppose is where it began, but I had heard once that welding 
usually results in a bond that is "tighter" than the original 
material.<

Hi,
My exhaust manifold broke in the same place. Possibly metal embrittlement 
from the welding?
Anyway Hobert (KEP) will replace the manifold with a better system for $40.
