Intake Manifold destroyed-replacing it

On engine start the intake manifold was destroyed by an apparent backfire.

-The starter is still good
-The engine can still rotate (removed spark plug wires to test)
-The intake manifold is now in several pieces
-I think I am missing a few parts that were tossed about by the explosion, so I still won't start it up after replacing the intake manifold.

What's the cause of this?

It did not get a new fuel pressure regulator with a certain recall from 5ish years ago.
