What causes the exhaust manifolds to crack?


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Thermal stress, improper torque, irregular machined surfaces. Angry male stiking manifold with large hammer when bolt refuses to come loose. Not that I'd know that or anything.
