Flex joints on exhaust system?
My shop I went to welded my dual exahust on, this guy at AM said that I need to have flex joints in my exhaust, thats why my manifold cracked, and my new headers will over time too? I still dont understand this, does anyone know what to do?

If your manifold is cracked it's most likely due to the condensation from your a/c dripping on the manifold. I'm guessing your passenger side manifold was cracked on the flange right before it mounts to the y-pipe.

i've heard of this happening before...and the solution was to have a shop weld a piece of metal where the condensation drips on the manifold to act like a small roof for it to bypass safely...

If this HASN'T happened to you you're lucky. As said, a plate can be welded to block the drip, or a hose can be inserted to divert the water.
