I have already replaced it with another manifold from a local parts-coach. Also used new copper gasket, gasket seal, and new #8 hardened bolts and lock-washers. Took it on a long trip and no further issues. Clearly, the metal fatigued in the old Exhaust Manifold. I am just curious if anyone has seen a rupture like this before and if so, If they knew the cause, so it won't happen again.
