Using schedule 40 is safe because it has less chance of cracking. It also depends on what size tubing you're gonna run also because that changes how much heat the manifold will produce.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
2" sch10 pipe would be fairly ideal as the OD is 2.162", giving you the slight anti reversion lip that you'd want. Full penetration welds. Perfect...

The wall thickness has nothing to do with the ability to withstand cracking. If you can't weld, nothing will hold up. If you're handy with the torch, sch10 is more than enough. Cheaper, lighter... Sch40 will retain heat slightly better, so it depends on what you're after.

Actually wall thickness has alot to do with the ability to crack. Thicker wall= less heat. Less heat and a thicker weld will definitely mean less chance of cracking. You're best bet is to make sure you penetrate fully and back purge your tubing to add extra strength on the backside of your weld.
