Is that right *at* the collector or up the tube ? On my 1600 the collector
part was trashed but the rest of the manifold was in good shape. I had the
collecotor & flange replaced and now my car will accept a regular "donut"
gasket. The parts are cheap to do this, and any good muffler shop should be
able to weld it up quickly. If it's the tube too, well... that's another
story. You may be able to find a custom header (hot rod!) shop that can fix
it for you for hopefully cheaper the price of another header.
