I took my SPED to the mechanic to get an estimate on having the driver side manifold leak fixed. He said minimum $350 and maximum could be whatever since he'll probably have to drill and tap some holes. He told me to pick up a new manifold, as mine is pretty well rusted. I guess I should get the EGR tube as well, since it's looking pretty bad. Any suggestions on where to get these items for cheap? I'm not interested in headers, just factory style manifold.

Advanced and Autozone both have DORMAN brand. Has anyone used these? Do they fit correctly? Is the included gasket any good or should I get different gasket?

Is there a better option for a manifold with a better or comparable price?

Is there anything to watch out for on ebay with those? Certain brands that don't fit or anything?

I say throw on headers

I already addressed this in the first post. I am not interested in headers. I just want to get this fixed and keep this piece of junk on the road for a while.

I ordered one from ebay for $55. The top end of the EGR tube looks perfect, but the manifol end is kind of scaley. I'm hoping its good enough to reuse.
