The passenger side is most often cracked. However I have to go back to Nissan as it sounds like the driver side is gone too. You might have your mechanic check (or at least listen) to the driver side after he fixes your broken one.
Welcome to the club. Some people have broken them twice in 12,000 miles. |

The newer manifold is now specified for all service departments to install. At least that's what my service manager said their manual read.

I'm happy to say I haven't had to do this job on any vehicle in many years... But for what it's worth, my mechanic friends tell me the broken Xterra manifold studs/bolts are more common than the cracked manifold... |

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
I was told by the dealer that the "rear exhaust manifold" was cracked. Which one is this? The left or the right? Also, based on the answer and the fact that my Xterra was manufactured in 5/00, which part number part would I need? Thanks!

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
9 times out of 10, it's the right side. Are you past 60,000 miles? Just finally got around to having mine replaced on an 01' with 47,000 miles. This repair falls under the Powertrain warranty(60,000).

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
Folks,
Nice discussion going on around here. Quick question from me: can i replace the manifold(consider both) myself? Some one can guide me to the step by step procedure? My 2000 XE V 6, 3.3 L just came out from a mechanic shop and now it started making noise from manifold. I don't blame him since this problem occurs very often looks like. Thanks in advance. Xterra D |

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
From everything I've heard it's a PITA to fix yourself due to the probability of broken studs/bolts that you have to remove from the engine. If you screw that up, your f*cked. My Nissan mechanics spent more than 6 hours replacing mine, and they have the tools and knowledge to do it right.
If you're really intent on it, buy the Nissan service manual and go for it. Unfortunately mine only has partial descriptions as part of the engine removal. Also make sure you're getting the heaver designed versions of the manifold. |

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
Also, you'll have easier access through the front right wheel well.

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
Actually I just had done the timing belt done so hopefully the studs are not that bad. I have repair manual but, it does not say much about repairing exaust manifold. Any page, web site you folks know of which can be helpful?
Thanks. |

Re: 2000 Nissan Xterra Exhaust Manifold Crack
Depends on how many studs need replacing. The part itself is cheap enough, it's the labor. Figure a few hundred minimum.
