Taking it off and welding it up is the only way.

You can try Chemical Metal or anything you like similar but 1: They can't handle the heat and 2: As the manifold expands & contracts it'll just break free.

If it's that bad just source a replacement, they come up quite often on ebay...
I have zero patience for your tedium.
