How to remove and install the exhaust manifold on Pontiac Vibe?

To remove the exhaust manifold, first disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Apply penetrating oil to the bolts and springs retaining the exhaust pipe to the manifold, and after allowing the bolts to soak, remove them to separate the front exhaust pipe from the manifold, taking care not to damage the oxygen sensor. It may be necessary to remove the inner heat shield from above the right drive axle to access one of the bolts. Next, unbolt the lower exhaust manifold brace and remove it from the engine, then in the engine compartment, take off the heat shield from the manifold. Detach the manifold and gasket by removing the nuts and bolts. For installation, use a scraper to clean all old gasket material and carbon deposits from the mating surfaces of the manifold and cylinder head. If the gasket was leaking, have the manifold checked for warpage and resurfaced if needed. If replacing the manifold with a new one, remove the lower heat shield and attach it to the new manifold. Position a new gasket over the cylinder head studs, ensuring any directional marks or arrows are noted. Install the manifold and thread the mounting nuts into place, then tighten the nuts and bolts from the center out in three or four equal steps. Finally, reinstall the remaining parts in reverse order and run the engine to check for exhaust leaks.

Pontiac Vibe Exhaust Manifold

Exhaust Manifold of Pontiac Vibe vehicles is a very important component since its principle function is to safely channel hot exhaust gases away from the engine to the exhaust system hence contributing positively to the performance of the engine and minimizing emissions. Sitting at the top of the exhaust system, the manifold gathers exhaust gases from several engines and directs the gases through the catalytic converter and finally to the muffler. It is generally of cast iron or stainless steel and the versions are referred to as headers which provide the premier designs for the purpose of free flow and performance. It is possible that exhaust manifolds have changed in the course of years through Pontiac Vibe's production and this may include standard exhaust manifolds or high performance headers. The first difference is that while utilizing headers the flow resistance is reduced and the velocity of the exhaust gases is enhanced and the use of headers may enhance the efficiency of the engine. It is important to maintain the exhaust manifold in good condition since corrosion of the manifold may results into loss of power and health complications arising from the leaks within the vehicle.

Each OEM Pontiac Vibe Exhaust Manifold we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
