Default Exhaust Manifold and Turbo Bracing

I have heard of Greddy TT manifolds cracking with heavy track use, so i was curious as to if anyone has remedied this issue by constructing a brace to support the turbo weight.

Please post pics if you have any...

and also...who else besides Greddy has a problem with this?

Well any manifold setup can crack due to heat and stress.......

I've heard of both Greddy and APS Extreme mani's cracking...

Generally the tubular mani's are better cause they are overbuilt (assuming the welds are good of course)......

But there is not absolute 100% gurantee they won't crack...that being said, many shops that build their own kits, will warranty their headers.
