What is it with US parts availability for the 221? I just waited two weeks for a front strut. Given how often those fail I was surprised they weren't in any local inventory.
I'd try hunting down a salvage piece. It's not a wear item. I'm presuming if it isn't cracked it's okay. Warranty repair?

sucks because it most likely just needs the manifold gaskets and the breather pipe in the back of the manifold but im assuming they are just replacing the entire thing to make sure its for sure fixed.

Not always. The ownership isn't as important as the manufacturer's warranty still being in force. By directly selling the second buyer a new warranty they're extending their exposure. It's not as easy a case to present but I've seen it done. (My best friend is a top lemon lawyer in Michigan. He's handled lemon everything...lemon cash registers, lemon computers, lemon boats and motorcycles, lemon TVs and appliances. If you brought him a defective ***** he'd probably do that case as well.) They can't hold his car indefinitely waiting for a part.
He does though have a duty to mitigate, and not sit on his hands. He could have the car towed to an indie, get the salvage manifold installed and then bill MB for it. Or see if MB will let him sign a release on a salvage piece with the understanding that MB cannot guarantee the part.
