Where does the 2.5 exhaust manifold crack?
I'm trying to get a fix on where the exhaust manifold cracks and if there's any way to do a half ass job of repairing it just to get through inspection. Could someone give me an idea of where the crack occurs?

My recollection is where the individual pipes join the catalytic converter/header. I think it was the mid pipe that was cracked. Difficult to access for welding. I took to one shop and he didn't want to try to weld. I've read of others w/ successful repairs though.
Note, this is SS410 steel, a type of stainless. It is weldable w/ steel consumible, but this will damage the anti-corrosion properties. Proper welding would use a SS consumible.
good luck

its a real pain to get it out. i have just welded my exhaust manifold about a month ago. Texashonda is correct. my break was completely around the middle pipe at the cat. worked quite well exept im an amatuer welder and i used a home depot 90 amp welder. i might need to pull it down and hit it again. That part happens to cost $500 - $700
