I have a '97 metro 4 cyl. auto with 76,000 mi and the exhaust manifold is cracked. Due to deer collision the resale value is pretty low. The replacement manifold costs about half the value of the car. Any suggestions or sources of cheap/er manifolds?

If it isn't too badly damaged you could have it welded with a nickel rod or check Ebay or the local wrecking yards?!

Thanks. It's actually broken right in two. Hopefully I can find a used one I guess.

www.car-part.com has many used ones for $35 and less

Go to your local salvage yard, I got a new used one for $65.00 and I have seen them as low as $30.00 - $35.00 other places that weren't within pickup distance. I also have a 4 bangers automatic with about the same mileage as yourself, also a 1997 and my manifold cracked all by itself. I only have 71,000 miles on mine.
