Ouch! Could you weld it, like this guy? Honda Civic Weld cracked exhaust manifold ETA for failure? - Automotive | DSLReports Forums Another nice and easy repair, right?

BTW, new fill, close to 64 mpg and best miles/kwh I think I have recorded.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
