I just had a manifold split, but it was on a 6 cyl tractor. I am sure the sound is quite different than what your 4 cyl will sound like.

You should take the manifold to an experienced welder and have him test weld to see how well the manifold will accept the weld. I was told that nickle rod is the best.

I cut the hole using a circular hole blade. The hole was about 1/16 larger than the black pipe I used for the outlet. The extra 1/16 allowed the welder to penetrate better along the edge. The saw blade became dull before I got through the manifold, so I poured valve grinding compound into the saw groove, continued cutting very slowly so compound wouldn't be thrown from the groove. I had the hole cut in about 20 minutes.
