Default Some choice about exhaust manifold 4x4

My 4x4 manifold has crack on the bottom under the turbo. What the way to choose?:

1. Try to weld my old manifold
2. Try to find new genuine (difficult, but I'm in Russia)
3. To buy this stainless tubular:





I heard that the tubulars can be cracked with more chances under high temperature and weight then the iron cast genuine, isn't it?

I have too little time to choose.

If your original manifold is cast, will be very hard to weld so it last unless by ausssie gas.
I would get another std one if I were you.

Just welded my old cracked manifold. Welder says that can usable not more then year. Recommended to find the new one or stainless tubular.




Nobody likes the tubular on the pics in my first post? Why? Any opinions, please, why that tubular is not good...
