Market analysis

How much does a used Lincoln MKZ exhaust manifold cost?

The most affordable variant we track, 3.7L, RH, lists at a $150 median, while 2.0L, VIN U (8th digit, hybrid), Federal emissions commands $500, a 233% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $250, while 2017 tops the table at $350. Parts from 2013–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.

Buying a used exhaust manifold: what to check

  1. Inspect runner webbing for thermal cracks: Check between cylinder port runners for stress cracks caused by extreme engine heat cycles.
  2. Check cylinder head flange flatness: Lay a straightedge across the mounting flange to check for warping that will cause persistent exhaust gas leaks.
  3. Verify catalytic converter substrate condition: Look inside integrated converter manifolds to confirm the ceramic honeycomb catalyst is intact and un-melted.
  4. Check oxygen sensor port thread condition: Ensure oxygen sensor threads are clean and not cross-threaded or stripped out by previous sensor removal.
  5. Install new exhaust studs and steel gaskets: Replace rusted cylinder head studs, brass nuts, and multi-layer steel gaskets to guarantee a leak-free seal.
