It will crack eventually due to the heat. It's like how the DSM stock manifolds and turbine housings would crack over time. I would definitely get it coated as cast iron will soak up the heat and give it off fast. Stainless retains heat in the manifold a little bit better which helps with spool.
Good luck I hope everything works out for you this time.

the propper way to do it is to buy a stage8 locking fastner set and do it the right way never have to worry about stripped bolts or loose bolts
