Would you suggest just leaving it as-is? Or file into it a bit?
I've heard you can braze manifolds. Not sure about that, though. If that's the only suspect crack I might run it. Just keep an eye on it, and at least now you know how replace the manifold if needed.
Then again the heat might expand it. Was it making noise before?
