Cracked exhaust manifold need help?
Hello I'm a newbie to the site although I visit it often. My first post so bare with me. I have an 05 211 with a Brabus k8. I cracked my exhaust manifold and need a new power steering pump. Any advise of where to go and who can help in the Bay Area. I have met Shardul and value your opion. I also met Asp but lost your number. I need help, Thanks in advance to all who no more about this than me.

I'm guessing its a tubular steel header you have. Can you tell where it cracked? You may be able to just have it welded up while still on the car depending on where it cracked. If its easily accessible any reputable exhaust shop could do the repair for peanuts. Stay away from the shady looking shops though. If you can't get to the crack the header has to come out and you want to find a reputable performance shop to deal with it at that point.
carpart.com has a rebuilt pump for $388.04 (have someone confirm this is correct for the AMG though. Should be, but higher end performance cars can get a lil dicey with parts like these being the correct one when being listed on a parts store computer)

RockAuto.com has a rebuilt A1 Cardone brand steering pump for $210.79 + $50 core charge. Again, make sure its the right one for an E55 as with performance cars steering pumps can differ slightly over base models.
