Stock test is to hold the exhaust manifold with its mounting flanges
uppermost and level, then spray WD40 into it.  If it weeps out through the
cracks, bin it.

(I'd still like to see a PROPER reweld test done - serious professional
repair and simultaneous swap of engine mounts and heat shields.  Anyone ever
done this?)
