I thought I'd mention the obvious.

In rwd application you have made sure the entire exhaust has a chance to rotate around it's own axis - right ?

If piping along chassis is securely bolted onto car (or in some way that rectricts rotating action), the pipe will stress exhaust header.
What happens in acceleration is that engine mounts give in a little, thus let engine to tilt a bit to one side. If this movement in piping is limited close to zero on the underside of car, the exhaust manifold will receive hefty twisting torque.

In gravel rallying cars racers usually fix the pipe in such manner that it will relatively easily get ripped off when accidentally driven off the road. This is to limit damages. After such event one usually do not have to buy a new exhaust manifold, just the piping.
