Great video Glen. Appreciate. Thanks.
What caused the cracked manifold ? And where did it crack ?

Bad design and quality I guess...
The crack is where the runners are welded to the plenum.
It's a well known aftermarket intake manifold brand.

Yes, I thought that might be the problem area. Hope schrapnel didn't migrate into the gizzards.
I will let Paddy know as I think he uses a similar manifold. Thanks.

How bout dat?
Pretty sure indication that the alloy plate is too thin. Has been flexing till it broke along the weld. The weld being the strongest. Stress concentrator. Thanks for showing us.

Yeah that's my deduction too. I'm getting it strengthened now.

The welding may have something to do with the cracking too. Too much heat and not enough on the parent metal can do that too.

More time attack mods

Now that I don't have a heat exchanger for the intercooler at the front of the car, I don't need such a large intake hole. I was REALLY worried about how this would turn out though I am pleasantly surprised. The aim was to reduce drag and not look terrible. I think I over-achieved this time!
