I apologize if this isnt the right spot to ask this. Since it is year and engine specific I asked here instead of in the Exhaust forum. I just bought a 1995 from my brother and it has a leak where the passenger side exhaust manifold meets the Up Pipe. It looked like I could just tighten it but the bolt broke. When looking for replacement bolts I discovered that the Up Pipe leaing is a known issue and problem and I should replace them. So I looked online and found the prices vary pretty drastically. I don't want the cheapest but hope I dont have to buy the most expensive either. What do you guys feel is the most bang for the buck? While I am at it I am thinking of replacing the Down pipe and doing the rest of the exhaust. I see Diamond Eye looks reasonably priced.

I appreciate all comments and advice. I am very new to owning a Diesel. Not sure of the acronyms or terms yet. Thanks.

 

I run diamond eye 3years now and so far so good, as for up pipes go and chec Riffraffdiesel.com lots of goodies anything you will need for your 7.3.

 

Call Jim at rosewood diesel. He was offering DIY built bellow uppipes for a great price.

 

I'm running Riffraff up pipes and diamond eye 2 piece down pipe. Works great.

 

The best bang for your buck upgrade.....

Or you can continue to replace the donut gaskets...

 

Another vote for a set of Riffaff Diesel bellowed up pipes. Unmatched quality. I have installed two sets now and am so glad I did.

 

would be nice to convert to pedestal to 99.5-2003 style since they seem to have bellowed up pipes a lot cheaper. not sure if his mod is cheap though

 

Not as easy and cheap as it may sound
