I have been looking every where and I can not locate a 1998 Chevy Tracker Exhaust Manifold. I did last week for $65.00, but had to return because it had small crack on it, so I am back to square one. My question; can I use a 1997, 99, 2000 or 2001 exhaust manifold?
Also, my check engine light is on because of an EGR problem. My mechanic tested the EGR and says nothing is wrong. He thinks if I fix the cracked exhaust manifold this should solve the problem. Something about back pressure. Thank you very much. Oh yah, any idea where I can find a good deal on an exhaust manifold?
thanks again!

Tell him Paul from Bundy's sent you.

Since you have to cross the cracked manifold anyways, might as well. I wouldn't assume the egr and manifold are related, but I like the idea of doing it first and see what happens. Weird things can happen.

A cracked cast-iron manifold can be welded. It's a common repair and easily done by an experienced welder.
