Too bad you're on the wrong coast. I spotted a brand new manifold on a 96 at the self serve boneyard the other day.

I noticed that if they would have braced the tubes, up just a little bit from the flange that bolts to the pipe.. it wouldnt not vibrate so much... so when i did my motor... I welded them together in a few places.. stiffen it up some. Have had no issues.. so far.. but then its only been 3000 or so miles..

Check the transmission mount, if it is bad it will cause the exhaust manifold to break from the added stress and movement.
