Basic Exhaust Manifolds
Manifolds are usually manufactured from cast iron or steel. The materials used are strong but the manifold is subject to extreme temperatures. They can crack or develop rust damage over time. Gaskets can become damaged more easily. Gasket damage may not be apparent when the vehicle is hot due to expansion. Check for gasket problems when the vehicle is just warming up.
Manifold Failure

Leaks in the manifold will result is less back-pressure in the system. This will reduce your engine’s performance and decrease the fuel-efficiency. Over time, damage to other parts in the exhaust system may also occur.
