Default Exhaust manifold crack--options?

Hey guys,

I just bought a '95 EX Civic for a daily driver and i'm fairly certain that there is a crack in the exhaust manifold. Is this a common problem and am i better off having it welded or just getting a used replacement?

Thanks,

Steve

Id take it as an oppurtunity to upgrade to a better header. Im sure you can find a used header here for not that much money.

I like upgrading whenever possible, will the header fit the 1.6 and does it bolt right up with no issues?

I have one from a Y8 for sale, $6. Why so cheap? Because I need everything in my garage gone. The less thats left in there the less I have to move. PM me if your interested.

Will the Y8 manifold fit right? You're right in my backyard and that would save me a trip to Tampa.

I apologize but i'm not up on the Honda engine designations.

Thanks,
