Smile Exhaust manifold - 931 Turbo - welding

The exhaust manifold on my parts car has two hairline cracks near the #2 and #3 exhaust ports. Can this sucker be welded? What kind of weld is best?

Mi exhaust manifold has been welded several times, but every time i weld it, I have another crack two months later.
I reccomend you to make an aftermarket new one. that´s what I make and have no problem.
I make an aftermarket stainless steel one because is near impossible to find an oem one in good conditions

If we are talking about a cast iron manifold, it could be brased very easily. Cast iron takes to brasing very well.
