depends where it ends doesn't it
take note these manifolds have a flange angle error around 5mm which are the reason the flexi's are know to fail prematurely, they force the rest of the system up or down hard against the central bump stops, upper iirc, and cause severe strain, they're fixable, just cut it through 90% of the way, set the position between the bump stops (they're not a mount/hanger) and weld it up again, then there is also no cat so you have to make one up out of the old main cat and a new flange.
I have a couple here cheap both requiring flexi's, one lasted well having already been altered, it has an additional wide band port added, but a broken engine mount on track killed it, the other failed no doubt from being fitted as is and came to me this way, the car still achieved 230whp with the adjusted one installed and could have been better if I'd also tidied the gasket/port match.
