Uh I'm an idiot!

Lets get straight to it. I was installing a MD plenum spacer and i snapped one of the six middle screws. The top part came out but the bottom of the screw is still stuck in the lower collector/ plenum. WHAT DO I DO. I'm screwed. Should i buy an Mrev2 to replace it? Is there no way i can use the lower collector/ plenum any more. I feel like an idiot. Thank you for your help.

You can get it out, I actually had this happen. Lowes/ Home Depot sell a drill attachment used to remove screws when you snap them off. Also, if any part of the screw is sticking out then you can just unscrew it by hang. You aren't fully screwed quite yet, just run up to the local store and tell them your problem. Pretty easy fix
