my 2002 superduty has had an exhaust leak at the manifold for a while. its not real loud. the factory exhaust manifold studs break, its common.

any one else on here have this problem? what did ya do about it?

im thinking of fixing it, but i know its gonna be a real pita!

ive talked to about 5 ford dealers about it had quotes from $350 to $2200.

you only need to jack up the engine an inch or two on the passenger side for 2 bolts.
all the other bolts are accessable through the fenderwell according to quite a few people on fordtruckenthusiasts.com. inner fenderwell must be removed. i was told to weld a small bolt to the center of the stud and back it out. if you have to drill some an easy out is an option but no fun.
