Sorry dude, yeah pretty sure its a one piece design and yes I am using the s15 mlg. Defiantly a possibility, interesting idea. Happened to you?

Can you take some pics of the way it sits now? Is there any visible warpage you can see? Can you still feel the exhaust gases leaking?
Yeah ican get pics of everything tomorrow night after work i really don't feel like touching my car right now LOL. Parked it in the shop that's as far as I'm going :| edit: and no I haven't tried to see if its still leaking in the same spot, turned it on to re park it and I could hear it clearly so I assume yes same place.

If its not, then its coming from a crack on the manifold.
I'm really dreading taking it off again, its a pretty big pita! I'll keep my eyes peeled for any signs and post pics to. It's only ran for 5-7 minutes total since everything has been installed,would it show soot or other signs of leakage already?
