      I haven't seen anyone that has had problems with cracked manifolds. I actually have an extra extra manifold I'd let go pretty cheap if you're interested (PM me if you're interested). You should make sure the CAT isn't clogged while its being replaced. If you're going through manifolds like that there is definitely something wrong.

      did you say which manifold is cracked?

      but i agree if its the exhaust, then check the cat, if its clogged and your under 8yr/80k it should be free. if it also the cause of the manifold cracking (pressure) then it could be covered as well. However i would suspect the gaskets to blow first.. How have you repaired it?

      If its the intake, its plastic, you would have a different problem there, i would suspect overheating, or over torque of some of the bolts depending on how that crack is.

      the sound a cracked exhaust manifold makes is a puttering noise and its constant but i fixed it after 2 days of work also put the lowering springs on myself with no problems whatsoever in the end i saved around $400 by doing everything myself but im really not satisfied with the drop of the car i want wheels tucked anyone know how i can achieve this tuck

      I don't know about lowering, But I wonder about your cracked exhaust manifold. What diameter pipe is your exhaust? Hopefully it was just a bad manifold.
