That shiet was just poor design from the get-go. Your right it was so thin i can punch thru it. And back to this whole flex pipe issue, it didnt have one so everytime the engine torques to the side, it puts all the pressure on the manifold, dp and exhaust. Which ever was the weakest, itll crack. You put a flex pipe in your DP and it alleviates this issue. Also having a solid engine mounts or engine dampner helps. If your iffy bout MR manifolds, get a flex pipe in your downpipe, have some solid engine mounts and get a dampner, also try not to bottom out the exhaust. I gurantee that manifold will last!!!
