no such thing ,you need to reword your question,exhaust manifold is bolted on the right side of engine and intake manifold on left side,under carburator.
They are screwed into the exhaust pipe/pipes.
The exhaust manifolds on a 2000 Xterra are bolted onto the side of the engine heads. The manifold carries the engine fumes to the exhaust pipes.
There are many different types of exhaust pipes all with different reliabilities. The best type would be stainless steal exhaust pipes which do not rust and therefore last the longest. They are however the most expensive.
In the exhaust pipes under the truck. In the exhaust pipes under the truck.
It collects the exhaust gasses and directs them to the pipes.
dual exhaust
Yes they do
yes, if the trans fluid is hitting the exhaust, but not out of the pipes coming from the outside of the pipes.
Your exhaust lines up with exhaust pipes ,your intake lines up with your intake runners.
the exhaust pipes
the engine is identical in both, I have owned both and saw no difference in the exaust manifold. Every Z24 engine in that date range have the same manifold, but I think the first couple of exhaust pipes past that are different in different body and 2or4WD versions, they certainly are different on the King-Cab. Then the rear pipes, muffler, etc. are the same.
Yes, wherever there is a joint between 2 pipes, use exhaust sealant to prevent a bad seal between the pipes, which will prevent it blowing.
