Honda Civic exhaust manifold for 2001 model is defective. When my check engine light came on I took in the car for service check and the mechanic reveled to me that there was a one inch crack in the exhaust manifold. After saving up $800 for a replacement I ordered a new one. That was in 2008. Now coming into the new year find myself in the same predicament with a less than two year old part. This defect is widespread and I have yet to purchased a new one for fear it will suffer the same cracked fate. This part and labor are too expensive to require a constant replacement. I have has the part welded twice but that does not stay for longer than 3 months. Not having a properly working part has lead to the property damage car the crack has caused a horrible puffing sound and undue buildup up in the exhaust system.
