exhaust manifold(S) cracked . beauty is its got 100,000 mile warrenty on the exhaust manifolds. if its cracked and your under that milage hit the dealership and get your free manifold while supplies last.

Damn! I founf this website about 8600 miles too late. Guess i better start calling the repair shops. Or do you think Nissan can do it cheaper? Its saturday and I know the service dept. is on lock.

dont know which would be cheaper but the manifold is most likely going to be a factory part. it all depends on the labor rate in your area and what kinda time they charge you could be anywhere from 2 hrs to 5 hrs labor charge.
