FP Exhaust manifold question

[jetx]

Alright, I have a b pipe exhaust and the manifold has a small crack coming out of one of the mounting holes where the head pipe bolts to. Was wondering if this is able to be welded. If not what are my options to fix it, other than replacing the entire manifold.

FPP has incrediable warrenty. But you might have some trouble getting one as they have been BO for some time now.
I have repaired/welded them in the past. after you have done the welding, replace the threaded portion of the hole with a SS timecert.
your problems are over for good then.

a better welder in your area should be able to help you with the repair
or I do that work here also.

the manifold actually already has the coil inserts in them already, can i just get it welded and be done with it without replacing the insert.

heli-coils suck compared to a timesert!
over time the heli coil will fail
timecerts are perminit!

the only bad thing about sending your pipe to FP from Canada is you have to cover shippin both ways..

I know a great welder out here who is a professional microscoptic welder if you need him.
