Jeep wrangler 2.5 exhaust manifold replacement

How long does it take to replace a manifold? The exhaust manifold is next to the engine, making it quite tricky to repair. Getting inside and removing some other parts may be necessary to get at the manifold. As such, it can take anywhere from three to five hours to replace or repair one.

The average cost of an exhaust manifold repair is around $735, while costs can range between around $500-$1000 or more. Labor for repairs typically costs around $475, while parts cost less – around $235. In some cases, you may need to replace the entire exhaust manifold.

Description. Exhaust manifold gaskets may be made of embossed steel, sometimes in multiple layers. These gaskets may also be made of high-temperature fibre material, graphite, and ceramic composites, among others. Some gaskets use a combination of different materials.
