Exhaust manifolds

[Tarheel14]

Had the right side manifold replaced about a month ago. Now the left side is cracked too. 67k miles. Its covered under my extended warranty but the left side manifold is apparently in high demand. The dealer says theres a national backorder and im getting put on a wait list. They had replace the gasket on the right side again and the water pump was leaking. All thankfully under warranty.
Anyone else having a hard time getting parts? I saw someone put JB weld on it to kill the noise. Does this help?

Had difficulties getting the right side manifold year ago. JB weld is not going to hold up for any length of time.

Manifolds are on backorder with an hopeful ETA of mid October. Supplier change.

Supplier change.

So perhaps a re-design?

Who knows, definitely no tie bars included with kit anymore. Will have to reuse or replace separately.
