Default Cracked exaust manifold

Am I losing power because of this? I have a new one on the way...1,400 bucks later. Anyways, car makes this ticking noise, kinda sounds like lifters, i got it checked and my guy told me I had a craked manifold. I was just wondering if im losing like 10hp from this or if it doesnt make a dif. I have a 97 1.8t

lol, good lord, if it isnt on the car, you can return it... might be a re-stocking fee, but pay it. 1400 USD for a damned exhaust manifold? THAT IS INSANE. David, you could get longtubes for your car for that eh? haha, and its a v8! yikes!
