Default Looking for a skilled welder in metro Atlanta

The cast-iron exhaust manifold on my car has developed a large crack. It's a log-style collector manifold which came bundled with my turbo system - I've reached out to the vendor to see if a replacement is still available, and if so what it costs, but am waiting for an answer.

I've been told that a cast-iron part like this can be welded, but it takes a fair amount of skill and patience. I'd like to get a repair estimate from a local welder, but have no idea who to reach out to. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Oh, and why is it that cars always seem to break when you're trying to sell them?!

Call Alllen Haddard at Extreme Perf Mufflers - I have used him twice now and he does magic for all the BMW guys. 770.817.1150

I am not sure he can do cast iron - but worth a call nonetheless to network.

Cast can be welded pretty easily actually you just have to know how to prep it. Post a pic for me and I'll tell you if its doable with my equipment or not. I have the skill just short on time but I am happy to help if your flexible. Seems I'm rather near you in NW Atl too, that makes it easier.
