Just a thought .... the passenger side pipe melted, most pyro meters are on the drivers side header. If some of your drivers side injectors are flowing less than they should, tuning would try to increase fuel to all injectors and the passenger side would get significantly hotter than the monitored drivers side and melt?

This whole situation is covered in crap. I feel bad for all parties involved. Here are my thoughts: what if the originally failed bellow had a defect? I'm confident I know who makes the bellow, and it's not RCD. Suppose the liner had a problem, and the simple flow of high velocity, 1000+* air was enough to soften, and unwind the liner, causing the small liner pieces to heat soak, and look like they were subjected to more heat than they really were.

There are a lot of could and should haves which I suspect led to this fiasco. I also know what a rediculously over heated up pipe looks like, and the bellow in said pipe looked nothing like that. I'm referring to the ones Bryan Garey melted holes in running 3.0 ms with the very first set of prototype Elite twin pumps, 110 hp nozzles, 4 stages of nitrous, and a huge amount of back pressure. All I'm saying is let's not jump to too many conclusions here. I'm merely speculating on possibilities.
