4k manifold question

[Raj Diocee]

Sorry, I thought I had mentioned the type of car, my bad.  It's a 1984 4ks 
front wheel drive, 5 speed manual, 2.2L 5 cylinder.  Car is originally from 
Germany, brought into Canada, and now in the States. The EM I have has 2 
pipes as the outlet, I'm not sure if this is the EM off of a quattro, but I 
am pretty sure that it is stock.  I had everything apart 2 years back when 
the head was rebuilt, the down pipe was just off around 4 months ago when it 
first cracked. I got it welded but now it's broken again! I'm gonna take a 
good look at it tonight to see exactly where it's broken, it actually sounds 
like the EM might be cracked :(
I'll let you guys know, hopefully I can get away with just replacing the dp!

Later
