Just a quick addition to this:

For exhaust manifolds where intergranular corrosion may be possible due to Chromium Carbide precipitation, it is better to use 321 SS. It uses a titanium addition which acts as a carbide stabilizer. Also, 321 has a higher hot strength than 304.

So, if you are buying an exhaust manifold made out of 304L, maybe ask the vendor if they can do it out of 321 instead.
