Help with manifold crack

[beachedflunkey]

This is on an R&D wetpipe. Any thoughts on whether or not this might be able to be welded or possibly even jb welded?

Grind it out & weld it. I have done those before, nothing new.
BTW, Don't cheat with JB weld. It will only be a short term fix, at best

Awesome thanks for the info Paul. I don't have any welder friends to bother so you get the lazy question of the day... do I need to pull the manifold or can I roll the whole ski up to a welder's shop?

This happened on my wife's very first surf (if you could call it that today) ride :cool2:. She's hooked :Banane09:
