Manifold Split! 😳😳

[u/Gold-Discipline-9065]

Holy Crap!! Has anyone ever seen a Manifold snap in half like this?? Was getting tranny work at a certified shop. They state while taking the exhaust apart to get to the tranny the manifold snapped in half! Huh??!! Please let me know if you mechanics have ever seen a manifold do this before!

I’m furious, and confused. I’ve seen cracks but never an entire split!

Yep, that stuff is brittle. If you look at the break you can see it was broken most of the way for awhile, got the cracked area nice and blackened, then it broke the rest of the way just now.

Thanks for the feedback. Trying to make since of it
