I presume whats gonna cause cracking, is quick changes in temperature from cold/hot and visa versa.

exhaust wrap is more likely to make manifolds crack and decay over time, they keep the heat inside the pipes so the manifold itself heats up, this can help with keeping gas velocities up, but it can also cause exhaust valve burning, along with the risk of very hot spots if the wrap isn't done perfectly.
