Hi Chris,
I would say that it probably distorts it, however, that can be easily addressed by running it through a surfacer. For myself, I would definitely opt for a new manifold if one was available and I could afford it. But I might try something like this on a hard-to-find, or a hard-to-purchase manifold. Or if I just had to get back on the water no matter what. He posts a picture at the very end of the video with the finished product and I think it is very impressive.

I'm wondering how flat the exhaust port surfaces are after all that heat in the middle.
If anyone does this repair, please wear welding gloves!!!

Good example of someone repairing a manifold with a freeze break.
