The manifold on my vintage car(1928) has either split/cracked in the collector area or bolts sheared. It sounds like an drag car, very very noisy. My question is will I do any damage by driving the car to repair garage which is 5 miles away?

I assume you mean exhaust manifold ?


No, other than being annoying, such distance shouldnt pose any problems.
