How important is it that the crossover pipe is able to move at the slip join?
Reason I ask is mine has been welded up and I have a cracked manifold and was wondering if that would be the cause or at least contribute to it.
I have another manifold to replace it and was thinking I would run a grinder/hacksaw around the crossover pie to "unweld" it
