    Exhaust manifold problems

    Is it common to have problems with the exhaust manifolds on the 4tec engines? A mechanic told me that my exhaust manifold is showing signs of failure because it is hot to the touch and should not be. This is on my 2005 RXT. Never heard of this before. Is this really a problem?
