your manifold is made from schedule 40 pipe. As long as the welds are strong you have NOTHING to worry about.

if your pops and you can weld, why not just buy material and build a custom one your self?.... Or at least fill it if it cracks.

You don't have to worry about BoostFlow manifold cracking. You would really have to abuse your car to worry about this type of things. We haven't had a single tC manifold crack yet. Plus I see that your location says Phoenix, in this case, we can get your manifold fixed the same business day if anything happens to it.
