We have a 2001 V8 that has leaking manifolds. I'm going to have this fixed ASAP, and so I have a few questions that I didn't see any info on when searching. As I understand it there is a cast and a tubular exhaust manifold.
At this point if I do indeed have an option, I would pick less likely to fail, and quiet over performance.
Is one design (cast or tubular) better from a performance standpoint?
Which monifold cast or tubular is less likely to crack and/or leak in the future?
Can a truck with cast manifolds be converted to tubular and vice/versa?
