Why don't people like to run external WGs on a QUALITY tubular manifold? Is it even ok to do? I'm aware that tubular manifolds are more prone to crack, but I have a quality one that I want to throw and external WG on.

Besides, if it cracks, I'll just pull out my welder and fix it in a few minutes. What am I missing here? Why are many people (esp. in the 2871r thread) tossing the tubular manifolds and going back to stock to run an external wg?
