Exhaust Manifold Replacement near Clearwater, Florida

The manifold retaining hardware and old gasket will be removed, and all touching surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly. If the manufacturer specifies sealant, it is applied to the gasket; otherwise, the gasket is placed on the exhaust studs. The new exhaust manifold will slide in place on the gasket, and the technician will torque the retaining fasteners to factory specification.

We recommend using at least OEM-quality parts for this repair.

The exhaust system operates at extreme temperatures, so metal will become brittle after a long service life. So, any fasteners need to be replaced during this repair.

This is doable at home only if you can diagnose the leak at home with certainty, and if the leak is caught early. If the problem caught late, the exhaust valves must be inspected by a trained professional technician. If any welding is required, a professional exhaust welder should complete the repair.
