I have '92 camry that has started to sound like a tractor. Is this an exhaust manifold problem? If so is the repair expensive?

Hard to tell from here. Hold the car a little closer to your computer…

All kidding aside, if it is in fact an exhaust leak, it could be from anywhere. Have you localized it to the under-hood area? Most exhaust manifolds are pretty stout, and the problem is usually a blown gasket or a rusted-out pipe or muffler.
