Cracking Header

Hello All,
This is my first time posting but I've tried going through all the trends for help but have not found what I'm looking for.
I have a supercharged BRZ and keep getting cracks in my header. First header was a Borla UEL which cracked once, I welded it and then cracked in another spot. I then cracked the stock header and then an Invidia header.
I'm trying to find a better header that has a thicker gage wall, 304 or better stainless steel, TIG welded and back purged but its hard to find info on these headers without just buying and seeing the parts.
Does anyone have recommendations on better headers or a way to prevent cracking? Side Note - I have added panels to protect my header from water but there is just as much airflow so the header can cool properly. I also have not used exhaust wrap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated especially that I'm spending way too much on headers.
