Default Exhaust Leak

I have an exhaust leak. I think it’s comming from the the exhaust manifold. I’m hoping I just need a gasket
are the manifolds known for cracking ok these trucks?

Yes they are. And it’s pricy. Both of mine were cracked and I think I put $2700 between parts and labor. I used a dorman part and though the issue is resolved, they create more noise than the OEM.

I didnt go OEM because though Toyota/Lexus knew they were problematic to crack, it didn’t look like they revised the part since the 4.7 was being replaced soon by the 4.6 in the tundras and gx460’s.

Yikes
So it’s safe to say it’s not just a gasket 🙄
Is it a design flaw or due from dust/corrosion?
i saw two used ones on eBay for 300 each
might grab them
