Certain models in the 1998-2000 year range had a recall on leaky FPR's, which caused fuel to get sucked into the UIM, which could cause this very explosion:

I do not know if 2001 or GP was ever subject to the recall.

North American Impala Owners Association - 2000-2005 Engine, Exhaust and Transmission - Intake Manifold Explosion!
