usually the cracks are not a problem, but you can buy a replacement hotside from ebay they are made by kingawa. they are supposed to be pretty good by all reports.

will any exhaust housing be ok as i have a good td04 housing here or am i being stoopid in thinking that?

no they are different sizes depending on what vf it is will depend on housing
