Signs of a Cracked or Leaking Exhaust Manifold
Heat cycles crack manifolds and break studs over time. These symptoms tell you a leak has started.

Ticking or tapping on a cold start
A sharp tick that fades as the engine warms is the classic sign of a cracked manifold or leaking gasket.
Exhaust smell in the cabin
Fumes leaking under the hood can be drawn into the vents. This is a health risk, so do not ignore it.
Check engine light for lean or oxygen sensor codes
Air entering ahead of the oxygen sensor skews its reading and sets fuel trim or sensor codes.
Visible crack or black soot
Soot streaks around a crack, the flange or a missing stud mark the leak.
Loss of power and louder exhaust
A larger leak reduces low-end power and makes the engine noticeably louder under load.

Why Buy Your Used Exhaust Manifold From Us
Manifolds differ by engine, bank, model year and sensor ports. Our process is built to get the exact casting the first time.
Matched by engine code and side
We confirm the engine code from your VIN and check the bank, port shape and oxygen sensor locations before quoting, so the manifold bolts straight on.
See your exhaust manifold before it ships
After you order, the supplier photographs the actual exhaust manifold once it is pulled. Nothing ships until you approve those photos.
Tips for a clean install
Use a new manifold gasket and new studs or bolts, and soak the old hardware with penetrating oil first. Broken studs are the hardest part of the job, so plan for them.
30-day parts warranty
Every used exhaust manifold includes a 30-day parts warranty. If it arrives damaged or incorrect, we replace it or refund you.

Used Exhaust Manifold FAQs
Where can I buy a used exhaust manifold online?
You can request a used exhaust manifold quote from FirstChoice Used Auto Parts online or by calling 1-888-383-2439, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM EST. Send a request anytime and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We are based in Louisville, Kentucky, match every exhaust manifold to your VIN, engine code and side, and ship across the United States.
How much does a used exhaust manifold cost?
Used exhaust manifold prices vary with the vehicle, engine, bank and material and availability. A used OEM exhaust manifold usually costs up to 70% less than a new one from a dealer, and you get 10% off when you order by phone. The fastest way to an exact price is a free quote using your VIN.
What are the signs of a cracked exhaust manifold?
A ticking noise on cold start that fades as the engine warms, an exhaust smell in the cabin, soot around the manifold, a check engine light for lean or oxygen sensor codes and louder exhaust under load are the common signs.
Is it safe to drive with a leaking exhaust manifold?
It is not recommended. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide and can enter the cabin. A leak can also damage nearby wiring and plastic parts with heat and cause incorrect fuel mixture readings.
How do I find the correct exhaust manifold for my engine?
Use your VIN to confirm the engine code, then match the bank (left or right on V engines), the outlet flange and the oxygen sensor ports. We check all of these before quoting.
Should I replace the gasket and studs with the manifold?
Yes. Always fit a new manifold gasket and replace any stretched, rusted or broken studs and bolts. Reusing old hardware is the main reason a new leak appears.
Can a cracked exhaust manifold be repaired?
Cast iron can sometimes be welded, but repairs often crack again because of constant heat cycling. Replacing the manifold with a sound OEM unit is the lasting fix.
Do your used exhaust manifolds come with a warranty?
Yes. Every used exhaust manifold comes with a 30-day parts-only warranty. Labor costs are not covered. Full terms are in our warranty policy.
Do you ship used exhaust manifolds across the United States?
Yes. Exhaust manifolds ship by parcel carrier to the billing address on your card, with tracking details emailed within 2 days of shipment. See the shipping policy for details.
