Well less than 10000 miles since I changed my drivers side exhaust manifold and guess what? Its cracked again!! I just do not want to keep replacing it every year but damn I can't afford rip headers and I do not see any other fix for it. Sorry just ranting.

How about getting the manifolds ceramic coated? Maybe the heat reduction / coating from that process will make the manifolds last longer and prevent it from cracking

Afraid to put money into that and then have it crack again. Anybody know if the Crown exhaust manifold is the same as oem as in are they also the supplier?

Had the same thing happen to my 2003 Trailblazer after 2 stock manifolds had to swap it out for a Kook's stainless steel header...sometimes you just have to spend the money and it is an upgrade!
