Exhaust Manifold - is it Usable?

[BigDogRB]

So, I have a cheapo manifold (high mount) that was on the car when I bought it. Stainless steel.

It was removed, found to be warped, and skimmed (by a very average machine shop) and refitted.

It's now cracked, so I had it rewelded, and it was noticed afterwards that it's warped - AGAIN.

Problem is, it looks like it can't be skimmed again, as it's past the flange and now going into the pipes. The whole exhaust and custom wastegate setup was designed around this manifold, so i'd love to reuse it to save $. Photo attached shows the piping poking through (lol)

Thoughts? Skim or Bin?

Cheers!

Salvage .... with a new flange. Will take careful removal of material that is not tube.

I ran a cheapy highmount stainless turbo on the stagea for years. It cracked every year or 2 and I got it rewelded, until I gave up and when 6 boob instead.
