I had the same thing happen on my 107. I had to make an emergency manuver (get hit head on or get up on curb) and mine broke right at the bend going to the downpipe. The g-d-a-m-n thing sounded like a domestic pickup truck with flowmasters. . .I wouldnt suggest driving with a manifold like this, the hot exhaust blows right against the back of the footwell, the possibility for the foam or your carpet to catch fire does exist.
