Finn,
Maybe that’s why some of the
aftermarket flanges are one piece. That’s how I made mine for that very reason.
So far, so good.

Ground running won't necessarily get you into that
thermo cycle range. Seems you consistently have to get above 5,000 RPM before
anything happens.
No expansion joints: it will crack.
Unless you use ridiculously thick material. Which is probably why the stock
Mazda manifold is so heavy.
