Another update:

I dare anyone to tell me this has happened to them before!

My manifold decided to shit itself on the way home from work today, needless to say the car is obnoxiously loud now! Does anyone know can I weld this or fix it somehow or is it defo a new mani job?

Oh jesus....! Yea you'd be able to weld it back up but it need to be welded well and some sort of bracing done to stop it from happening again...!

oh good job!! best job would be fire it out and stick on a stock cast iron mani iv about 10 of them here anyway the stainless 4 branchs make piss all diffrance to a stock one either way but they do look alot better, that one could be welded back no problem but it would deffo crack again and posibly trist the flange for the turbo and cause it to blow gaskets alot, it could be skimmed flat agian but deffo easyer to stick on a stock one!

iv been told that the stainless steel manifolds dont really make a huge difference and the standard one is just as good
