1g Awd and Fwd exhaust manifold difference ?

[90TEclipseConv]

I have recently purchased a ported 1g awd exhaust manifold and was going to replace my existing fwd exhaust manifold with it and they looked visibly different. Before I was going to perform this and with some limited research on this I have not found there to be any difference but I might be wrong, can anyone help me with this situation ?

the 1g turbo awd and fwd have the same exhaust manifold,you shoulda bought a 2g manifold,they don't crack.

2g manifolds do crack.

Just not as easily as the 1G's

Even thats is argueable. 2gs are newer, so just by age they don't crack as much.
