Oh don't worry, I have some super glue, can fix it good as new! On the serious note, that really sucks, but with a glass half full look: at least it was easy to find the reason.

 

called it jk, that sucks. I've heard of magnus DSM manifolds doing it before. get a JM or AMS manifold.

Street Tuned has great prices

 

Wow, tha danm thing made a TB of it's own

 

WTF!!!!

Someone want to buy a brand new Magnus Intake Manifold?!!!! First $400 takes it!

From now on out, my car will Buschur's be b***ch!

 

Looks like it needs some extra gussets

 

If you were checking the throttle body and cable, how did you miss the gaping hole lol

 

exactly!, i would have noticd that right away. but, holly shehiet. i was thiking of getting a magnus mani. not any more.

 

+1 . Theres no way you can miss that while checking the throttle cable.

 

HUGE boost leak! from tha magnus manifold! Hoolyyyyy Pahk!

 

what was it?

 

was the manifold, see his pictures below

 

Holly sh*** how did you miss that big a*s hole!!! LOL

 

It was probably a meth backfire that caused it to happen. The welds just don't go on their own. In his first post he mentioned that he was running meth.

 

Pretty much every instance of that kind of failure I have seen doesn't come from faulty welds, its from a backfire of meth or nitrous. Look at the sheetmetal around the gusset. It's malformed outwards pretty severely. If you think of when the gap first opened, if it was strictly a weld failure, the pressure would be relieved and there wouldn't be enough residual pressure to continue bending the sheet metal. That deformation looks more like an explosive pop deform. I've seen the older Magnus manifold split pictures and they tend to be a lot more linear.

Now wether or not the welds should withstand a backfire and wether or not the welds should go first or the actual sheet metal, is a different discussion.

 

I think I'd rather the backfire escape there then bend something else.
