I've been working with/on cars at dealerships for 20 years now. One thing I've learned, engineers and manufacturers don't spend money on parts they don't think are really needed. It's all about the bottom line profit.

But, many people have run a stock manifold without it. But you are taking a chance of it cracking under it's own weight.
