XU10J2TE internal exhaust manifold crack

[DamirGTI 342]

Did some engine inspection and found cracked exhaust manifold , but no crack all the way trough but only on the inside :

 

 

 

 

 

 

What to do with this i wonder new/spare one or reuse this one but grind off the cracked area with the dremel ?!

I'd try grinding it back, then spray on some Flawchek (or similar) to check your work.

Right , will try to grind off the affected areas .. not so keen on spending money on an replacement manifold as it's such poor design , plan on making my own in near future !
