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.

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.
