I still have the exhaust manifold I bought off you Don, just in case mine was cracked. It turned out to be the manifold to down pipe gasket

Mines gone south for the second time at 176000 miles. First time was at 80000 miles and it was still warranty.
Not so this time.
I bought a new part to fix it off ebay.

The OP never came back after starting this thread.

Be sure to check your motor mounts. According to the tech when we had ours done, too much movement of the motor mounts can cause extra stress at the flex pipe.
