They all crack.  It's a common fail on the ABF manifold.

Good luck finding an ABF suitable tubular manifold.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

thought it would b a common fault............

i thought a mk3 4 branch sholud fit just because its got a standard mk3 manifold and front pipe.........

dont think it can be welded just because the crack goes to where you cant get to it...
