The gasket cost $7. It doesn't leak, usually the manifold cracks and is VERY easily repaired by a welder. If you have basic mechanical ability, you can fix yourself for around $50

Or better yet, get some 94-98 headers, flow a little better and you can usually find them pretty cheap, at least her in CA they are.

Get new headers and fix them yourself. Doesn't take too long to fix only a few hours.
