Engine Mechanical problem
2002 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 150k miles sounding like a tank again

Where it meets the catylic converter, Had the exhaust manifold pipe gasket welded (electric) and only lasted a month. Should I take apart again and ARC (gas) weld it? Or break down and buy new or used manifold with gasket factory welded?

Its gonna keep crackign from the heating and cooling cycles.

Is it cast iron?
If so you have to have a good welder weld it and properly heat it and use the proper filler or it will keep cracking again.
