Get the Best Priced Exhaust Manifolds

Exhaust Manifold Overview

Have you been experiencing a rough ride? If you smell burning, hear loud noises, or experience decreased performance, it may be your exhaust system. It’s common knowledge that vehicle emissions are not the best thing for healthy air quality, so your vehicle has a somewhat complicated exhaust system that’s designed to minimize the possible environmental damage caused by a combustion engine. Your car’s exhaust manifold is a humble but vital component of the vehicle’s overall exhaust system.

At PartsGeek.com, we stock a wide range of exhaust manifolds by brands like Magnaflow, DEC, Hooker Headers, Professional Parts Sweden, Eastern Catalytic, ATP, Dorman, Crown Automotive, Genuine, Bosal, BD Diesel, Walker, and AFE. Whether you are looking for a simple replacement part or a high-performance aftermarket manifold, you can be confident that we have some of the best pricing on the web, and our parts are backed by a 30-day return policy.

What Is an Exhaust Manifold?

Vehicle engines have multiple cylinders where fuel combusts to create energy. This combustion creates fumes, which need to be evacuated from the area. During this evacuation process, fumes move from the cylinders to the catalytic converter where they are converted into less harmful emissions, and then to the muffler and finally out through the exhaust pipe. Exhaust manifolds simply bridge the gap between each cylinder and the single pipe that will eventually send those fumes out the back of your car.

How Much Do New Exhaust Manifolds Cost?

Exhaust manifolds cost anywhere from less than $100 to more than $300 on PartsGeek.com, depending on your vehicle make and model and what kind of metal the manifold is made of. Some manifolds even have integrated catalytic converters or are ceramic coated to increase durability. Searching our exhaust manifold inventory by vehicle make and model narrows down the results so you can see what your options are.

What Could Cause an Exhaust Manifold to Crack?

One of the biggest enemies of your vehicle’s exhaust system components is rust. However, the location of the manifold means that it endures a lot of heat during its lifetime, and that could also cause it to fracture.

How Do I Replace an Exhaust Manifold?

First, remove the oxygen sensor if it is in there. Next, remove the old manifold by loosening its bolts. Finally, install your new manifold by bolting it into place where you took the old one out. Don’t forget to install new gaskets at the same time, and remember to check for exhaust leaks once you have replaced the manifold and gotten everything back together.
