Default TTiX Need some help!

I have a TTiX kit on a 2003 Z06 really runs great

the pass side manifold cracked off the rear most exhaust flange mounting ear and leaks.

I need to find a competent welder who can do the cast iron manifolds who has experience and can do a good job fixing this.

don't want to fork over the fold for a new manifold unless I have to.

I'm also contacting Turbo Tech to see what they can do for me. the swain high temp coating will need to be ground off (I'll do that) but it definely looks like a very easy fix for someone experience.

I talked to the "professor" (Warren Johnson - Pro Stock champ) for a long time at Englishtown this weekend and he was very helpful. I wasn't so sure about welding cast iron. He encouraged me to just fix it and and he has welded many manifolds and cast iron blocks. I believe Indy Cyl heads can handle it too so I'll likely contact them.

but if you all know and have used a company, like to get some feedback.

I'll post up some pics soon. thanks.

I've seen recent threads where guys have welded flanges onto the cast truck manifolds, I would make some calls to weld and fab shops.
