Another cracked Honda manifold story! This is my sixth Honda, never had the problem before. A friendly mechanic got the combo exhaust manifold/catalytic converter for $582 from Honda, put it on for $100

I probably should have gone aftermarket, you can get them for $329

Definite design flaw Honda - own up!

2003 civic, 96,00Km, dealer said "you must have hit a puddle". Really. Dealer said it would be $1,300 plus tax to repair. Considering a weld attempt. Will update.
