About This Exhaust Manifold
An exhaust manifold lives on vibration, heat cycling and constant pressure pulses, so after enough miles it cracks and leaks rather than wearing out - which is why the tick-tick-tick of a leaking manifold is so recognisable. Inline sixes have a reputation here; even the Jeep 4.0L is not immune. Two things decide whether a used one is the right buy. First, what your car uses: a cast manifold, a tubular header, or a manifold with a catalytic converter built in. That last is emissions hardware, and the rules differ by place - many states have strict emissions requirements, and EPA separately allows converters approved by California under its AMCC/OBD-II procedures. Second, the fasteners, which on this job are usually the real work.
Because every exhaust manifold quote is matched to your Chevrolet Equinox by VIN, you get a part that fits the first time and keeps your repair on budget.

Before you order, it helps to read:
Common Signs Your Exhaust Manifold May Need Replacing
- The tick-tick-tick of a leaking manifold where it bolts to the head
- A visible crack in the casting after years of heat cycling
- Manifold or exhaust-flange fasteners snapped off, or seized solid
- Exhaust escaping upstream, before it reaches the exhaust system
- A leak on an inline six - notorious for cracked, leaky manifolds
- A leak that comes straight back after a new gasket was fitted
Symptoms vary by vehicle and driving conditions. Always confirm diagnosis before replacement.
What to Check When Buying a Used Exhaust Manifold
- Say cast manifold or tubular header, and give the engine code
- Tell us whether a catalytic converter is built into the manifold
- Confirm emissions requirements with your shop and state first
- Ask for photos of both flange faces and every stud hole
- Budget new studs, nuts and gaskets, and expect broken fasteners
- List the heat shields and sensor bungs you need included
Ask for these details and any available photos before approving a purchase.
What Happens After You Request a Quote
- We review your vehicle and part request
- Provide your VIN or full vehicle details for fitment review
- Review the available condition, warranty, shipping, and price details
- You decide — no obligation to buy
Response time depends on the part, vehicle information supplied, and current sourcing options.

How Pricing Is Determined
Pricing for used exhaust manifold depends on several factors:
- Vehicle year, make, model, and engine configuration
- Mileage and overall condition of the donor vehicle
- Supplier location and shipping distance
- Warranty coverage offered
We quote rather than publish prices, and three things move the number: what the manifold is (cast, tubular header, or one with a catalytic converter built in), how complete it is (heat shields, sensor bungs, hardware), and whether a turbocharger bolts to it. Then the labour, often the bigger half - manifold and exhaust-flange fasteners are the classic broken-bolt job, and freeing one can mean welding a nut on, heating it, or drilling it out. Send the VIN, engine code and a photo of the manifold you are removing.
Confirm the final price and fitment basis before approving a purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do exhaust manifolds crack?
Because of what they live with, not how they are driven. A manifold takes vibration, heat cycling and constant pressure pulses every time the engine runs, so cracks and leaks appear after thousands upon thousands of miles. Inline sixes are notorious for cracked, leaky manifolds, and even the legendary Jeep 4.0L is not immune. Worth knowing before buying used: a donor manifold has lived the same life as yours, so condition matters more than the mileage of the car it came off.
My manifold has a catalytic converter built into it. Does that change anything?
Yes - it stops being a casting and becomes emissions hardware, and we will not tell you what is permitted where your vehicle is registered. What we can say is that rules differ: many states have strict emissions requirements, so replacing a broken manifold with headers is often not an option, and EPA separately allows aftermarket converters approved by California under its AMCC/OBD-II procedures. Check with your shop and your state or provincial authority first, then come to us for the part.
Should I expect to replace the studs?
Plan on it, and plan on some breaking. Exhaust flange and manifold fasteners are the usual culprits for broken bolts and studs, because corrosive exposure and constant heat cycling weaken them over years. Getting one out is real work: welding a nut onto the stub, using a torch or induction heater to break the corrosion loose, or drilling it out with an extractor - sometimes rethreading the hole or fitting a repair insert. Budget the hardware and the hours, not just the manifold.
What should I check on a used manifold before it goes on?
Look where it seals and where it bolts. Ask for photographs of both flange faces, every stud hole and thread, any area that looks repaired or welded, and the casting around the runners. Then completeness: heat shields, sensor bungs and brackets vary by year and trim, and one missing yours is no saving. If a converter is built in, ask whether it has been struck or rattles.
Does my engine even have a bolt-on exhaust manifold, or is it cast into the head?
Some newer engines have no separate manifold to buy. GM's release for the 2012 Camaro describes a new cylinder head design with an integrated exhaust manifold, saving about 13 pounds per engine over the old heads and manifolds, and Ford's 2.7-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 F-150 uses aluminum heads with water-cooled integrated exhaust manifolds. On those engines the fix is a head, not a manifold. Send the VIN with your quote request.
Can I reuse my old exhaust manifold bolts on a later-design used manifold?
Not always, and getting it wrong is expensive. Stellantis bulletin 09-019-23, for cracked 5.7L Hemi manifolds on 2019-2022 Ram 1500, Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee, tells technicians to replace all fasteners to prevent bottoming in the cylinder head, because the fasteners were lengthened 6 mm when tie bars were added, and to use every kit part: manifold, gasket, fasteners, heat shield and tie bar, even if the original had no tie bar.
There is coolant weeping near my exhaust manifold. Is the manifold cracked?
Coolant means look past the manifold. Mazda's bulletin for the 2.5T engine in 2019-2020 CX-5, 2016-2020 CX-9 and 2018-2020 Mazda6 describes coolant leaking at the cylinder head around the exhaust manifold, with cracks at a stud bolt hole or outside the manifold, and attributes them partly to deformation of the manifold in use loading the head. Mazda's repair is a new cylinder head. Have the leak located before you buy anything.
My V8 has one cracked manifold. Can I buy just that side?
Usually yes, and the two sides are separate parts. Stellantis's 5.7L Hemi manifold bulletin lists left-side-only, right-side-only and both-sides repairs, with different left and right part numbers, and the right-hand kit listed for the Ram 1500 is not the one listed for the Durango and Grand Cherokee. So the side and the vehicle both have to match, not just the engine and the year.
How is compatibility verified?
Provide your VIN or full vehicle details so you can review the fitment basis in your quote before approving a purchase.
What if the part does not fit?
Most suppliers offer limited return or exchange options. Warranty and return terms are confirmed before purchase.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping time varies by location, part size, and freight arrangement. Confirm the dispatch and delivery estimate in your quote.
