Average quote for a exhaust manifold repairs
The exhaust manifold is responsible for funnelling exhaust gases from the engine to the exhaust pipe. It can be made from stainless steel, tubular steel or, most commonly, iron. Although these metals are all relatively durable and should last the car's life, they sometimes develop problems due to wear and tear.
The most common issues are cracks and holes, which are easy to diagnose because they make the exhaust significantly louder. Similarly, the manifold gasket can fail, which also causes the exhaust to be more noisy. When your exhaust manifold breaks, you should stop driving and book a repair as soon as possible to avoid breathing in harmful exhaust gases.

Signs of exhaust manifold failure
Nobody wants to be exposed to toxic exhaust gases. That’s why it’s essential to familiarise yourself with the signs of exhaust manifold failure, which include reduced fuel economy, an illuminated engine management light, sluggish acceleration and an unpleasant smell in the engine bay or cabin.
You might also notice that your exhaust sounds louder than usual. Sometimes, ticking noises that sound like they are coming from the engine can actually be caused by exhaust gases escaping.
