How much to fix a manifold on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT?

[y_aburouman]

I brake to stop at a red light and then accelerated as it turned green. And as I drove off I hear a loud pop, from there after the car sounded like it had a V12 engine because of how loud it was. I then find out that the manifold is cracked or "broken." My question is how much will it cost and is it really a hard job?

The hardest part should be getting the bolts out without snapping them. Use plenty of spray to help remove them.
