Crack in manifold. Only loud when first started. After, sounds great and no noise !  Question: can the crack be repaired without replacing the whole manifold?

Usually not due to the heat difference in the metal and the weld, they just break again.

Some have brazed them after a good cleaning with wire brush on U-TOOB but who knows if it lasts .

Most likely by the time you pay for the labor to fix the old manifold you could have gotten a new one. Dollar wise and penny foolish! Jim
