exhaust manifolds see the most stress of anything outside of the motor. it sees the most heat alot of vibration and weight and if that wasnt enough lets throw a turbo on one and even ceramic coat it to hold in more heat. or even stainless steel! so it can hold even more heat! oo i know lets wrap it in heat wrap too that will make it last even longer..... they are the most beat up peice on a car and even stock ones that are the most tolerable to heat cycles still crack and do shitty things. plus welding stainless to mild isnt the greatest idea. stainless will expand and shrink more than mild and eventually after enough heating cycles somthing will have to give. every manifold will crack. some just take longer.
