Could be time for extractors. Not happy. Do extractors bolt onto the cat or do you have to cut the engine pipe? any one have a manifold for sale?

wow - thats pretty decent!

new ones you'd undo the joiner and probably have to shorten the pipe going into the engine bay.

i highly recommend lukey extractors too... mine are AWESOME.

fixed in typical slack auszookers style until I can get replacement headers or extractors. I just hope it doesn't smell like tuna when it gets hot. I was gunna use a VB can but the tuna can was a bit thicker. It's got muffler putty underneath. I don't do things half assed

My Jimny did this exact thing last week. Same crack, same place.

would it be possible to weld it up or would that be a waste of time?

(OT. I always wanted a diesel Jimny, now at least it sounds like one. :wink:

welding of cast iron is specialized. you need to head up the whole piece in an oven
ps still haven't fixed it properly

Good to know the tuna can is still working. Might give it the Bazzook treatment.

Would love to drop some cash on on a new exhaust but i just spent bucket loads on the front hubs.
Bad timing.

It's possible, but it's one of those situations where it will cost more to fix than it's worth. On top of that you've still got a cast iron manifold, so expect more cracks in the future. Extractors FTW

I welded it up today.

Managed to weld completely around it with the MIG. Not pretty looking but its sealed and you cant see it.
