DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN REPORTED, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN TITANS (MANY YEARS) WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING. I HAVE A 2004 AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW. I CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY SUGGESTED TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE, AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK. THE MANIFOLDS ARE OVER $850 EACH, AND BOTH OF MINE ARE SEVERELY CRACKED, CAUSING ENGINE, EMISSION, AND SAFETY/HEALTH PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY O2 SENSORS, CAT'S, AND MUFFLERS, DUE TO BURNING UP, AND HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ALL MY WINDOWS DOWN AND SHORT TRIPS DUE TO THE EXHAUST FILLING THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ISSUE, BUT A MAJOR FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE HAD CHECKED OUT AT A LOCAL SHOP, AND THEIR EXACT WORDS WERE "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FLEX IN THE EXHAUST, SO WHEN THE ENGINE SHIFTS FROM DRIVING AND REVVING, THE MANIFOLDS ARE THE WEAKEST POINT AND THEREFORE CRACK". SOMETHING SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE DONE OR LOOKED INTO. MANY NISSAN TITAN FORUMS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. USUALLY ONLY ONE IS CRACKED, BUT I HAVE BOTH CRACKED. IF YOU NEED A VEHICLE TO INSPECT, YOU CAN LOOK AT MINE. I EVEN HAD THE EXHAUST UPGRADED TO BIGGER EXHAUST IN HOPES OF RELIEVING SOME OF THE PRESSURE, SO IT DOESN'T LEAK ALL OUT UNDER THE HOOD, AND THAT HAS HELPED SOME, BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN AND USABILITY OF THESE NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS. AND, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND OVER $1600 IN JUST 2 PARTS, PLUS ALL THE OTHER REQUIRED PARTS, WHEN I CAN BARELY AFFORD TO PAY THE BANK ON THE TRUCK. *TR *BF *TR
