Market analysis

How much does a used Nissan Frontier exhaust manifold cost?

Asking prices for a used Nissan Frontier exhaust manifold are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.

Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $75, while 2022 tops the table at $225. Parts from 2006–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 14 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Frontier sits 6% above the GMC Sierra 1500 ($71), level with the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($75), and 40% below the Ram 3500 ($125) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

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.
