What happened to yours?Did it crack?Its a known issue ,I am afraid
You better off getting a new one from a dealer and some warranty.

just thought id save a bit of cash as dealer price will be sky high

cheers

Have you tried having it welded?I know the manifold is a bit thin,but you can reinforce the cracked area with a thicker stainless plate.Even if done professionally,Its still 50/50 whether it will crack again..but maybe worth a try.In some I had welded ,the success rate was 50% .....
