What Does an Exhaust Manifold Do?

Your exhaust manifold connects to the engine. It collects the exhaust gases from the engine and carries them into the exhaust pipe, and a gasket seals the joint between the manifold and the engine.

How Much Does an Exhaust Manifold Repair Cost?

Replacing an exhaust manifold can cost anywhere between £150 and £1,000, depending on your car and the type of manifold it has.

Signs Your Exhaust Manifold Needs Repairing

You may need an exhaust manifold repair if you notice any of the following:

• Your engine or exhaust sounding louder than usual

• A ticking or hissing noise from the engine

• The engine management light coming on

• Poor engine performance or sluggish acceleration

• A smell of exhaust fumes in the engine bay or inside the car

A leaking manifold gasket can cause similar symptoms, so a garage will need to check which part is at fault. If you’re not sure what’s wrong, our guide to common exhaust problems explains what different exhaust issues can mean.

The most common faults are cracks or holes in the manifold itself. Either can let exhaust gases escape before they reach the rest of the exhaust system.
