Broken exhaust manifold

[2006MoonstoneVibe]

My exhaust manifold cracked in half due to metal fatigue. What's a good replacement brand? Are the cast iron ones ok?

My brother had to change his (it was so rusted it wouldnt seal right on engine head). He ordered this one on egay. New with gaskets included, seems like a good deal to me.

Yes, thank you, I saw that one also, but decided to stay with my old manifold. Mine had no rust on it at all, but was clearly stress cracked from fatigued metal. It was actually in two pieces, cracked apart at the "Y" piece which collects the two runners into the collector. I welded it and it's fine now. I guess I'll find out if it will crack at another location. Right now good, passed state inspection. I tried to post some pictures, but kept getting the "upload failed" message.
