If by "later Hemi" you mean the ones in our 5th gen trucks, then yes it made a difference. Now instead of the bolts snapping, usually the manifold itself cracks. Still a sh|tty problem but I'd prefer the manifold to crack as it's far worse trying to get broken bolts out of the block.
I had both my sides replaced with BD Diesel manifolds. Only the driver side had cracked but I didn't see the point in waiting for the other side to crack, got both done at the same time and hopefully for good.

I believe there is something different on them from the last few years. My 19' has had both sides crack, covered under warranty. The new ones they put on have different parts #'s from the original ones. Have no idea what the difference is but they have yet to crack again but hasn't been too long. Left was done at around 50K, the right done at around 74k, at 83k now.

By the time I include parts and labour for the mechanic, it was over $1000 CAD. It wasn't cheap, but probably cheaper than doing it over and over again, expecting different results with the same flawed OEM parts.
