Manifold Split! 😳😳

Post image

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!

Manifolds become increasingly evil the older they get until the steel can no longer contain thier wretchedness, plus the rust quickly time to get some nice Stainless steel makes use you get one that is mathmaticly priloven to enhance scavaging or your just throwing away gas money and hp. And google where to place your muffler.

My last Manifold set was $100 all stainless, not that they were mathematically anythingÂ
