Last weekend, on my annual sand dune trip, the coach developed an exhaust leak at the engine. I had a chance to investigate a little further when I was getting ready to leave the GMCSJ Christmas Rally this morning, and discovered a substantial crack in my left exhaust manifold. I know the left ones are hard to come by, and I'm wondering if anyone has a good one available that you might be willing to part with for a reasonable price?

The other option, of course, is to install a set of headers, but that's just another large expense. I already have Jim K's 3" aluminized, two muffler, exhaust system, so the headers should be a simple bolt in installation. Being in my ninth year of GMC ownership, I realize the simple jobs are rarely as easy as we hopr they will be.

Any sage advice?

Thanks
