my junk ass mani has cracked on the welds. how hard is it to fix an how much? also if I got another log mani will it just bold right in or would I have to remake the dp?
It looks like an easy fix with a tig, the only time consuming part I could see is cleaning up the metal before welding, something you can do yourself to save money. I cant tell you a price though, Iv always done my own welding.

sweet. prolly throw it in a parts washer. good idea thanks.
anything i should do to re-enforce this so this wont happen again? maybe weld inside?
You could weld inside but with a decent enough tig they should be able to penetrate all the way through. Depends on the gauge of the metal and how good of a welder the guy is.
Im a newbie to the tig so I cant tell you for sure and have only made one sloppy looking manifold so far.
once a weld cracks, it cannot be rewelded and expected to stay uncracked.. it will eventually crack again. the metal is compromised once a weld cracks like that,
if you reweld it, it will recrack again, and again and again..
