Well, mine exhaust manifold cracked @ 105,000 miles and the noise coming off from the engine bay was really loud.
Anyone else with this problem?

It was like a very loud engine and coming from the engine bay... It did sound like a exhaust leak and resonated under the heat shield.

I too have a cracked exhaust manifold on my '98 with 122,000 miles. The mandrel coming off the #1 cylinder is broken all the way around, leaking exhaust, although it is not extremely loud in the passenger compartment.
The local junk yard can get me a used one for $135, and online you can buy a new manifold for about $185 plus shipping. The great thing is the 1st gen Ody's are probably the easiest vehicle in the world to change an exhaust manifold.

Follow up on above post:
Just finished replacing the manifold. Took me about 45 minutes which included cleaning up the engine block surfaces and installing new gaskets. I keep thinking I must have done something wrong since it went way too easy.
I was able to find a used one in perfect shape from a junkyard back in Arkansas for $100 shipped. Amazing what the Internet can do.
Found out why the manifold cracked: A bolt that attaches the small bracket from the manifold to the block was missing. Either it fell out by itself (unlikely) or a previous repair forgot to install that bolt. Without the support from the bracket, the manifold and header would likely slightly flex with normal operation. So if your exhaust manifold is cracked, then make sure that bracket is attached properly.

I have the same crack. I didn't hear it but after removing the heat shield for a header testfit #1 is cracked 75% around and 4 is about 25% around.. right where they collect.. I'm starting to think this might be a problem with design...

Hey guys/gals, I'm new here and I came across this post because I have the same problem. One exhaust manifold pipe cracked on my 96 2.2l, and it sounds horrible! Got another one from a local junkyard for $75, and I'm having a shop install it for me sometime this week.
One question though;
Has anyone replaced their own manifold...and, do the bolts break easily?
I would like to do this myself, but 11 inches of recent snow put a damper on this driveway project. I have a garage, but it's occupied by a 96 camaro that WON'T see any daylight until the weather gets nice.
Thanks for any help given!

When I put the DC Sports header on my 89 accord those bolts took alot of soaking and along time to brake. I would imagine that the Ody wouldn't be quite as bad, as it hasn't been on nearly as long.

I guess I'll start soaking them tonight. They look kinda rusted to the manifold, so I'll just hope for the best.HostileJava said:
I really hate taking it to a shop, but I don't have too many other options to go with. It's too damn cold out there now!
Thanx for the reply!
