97 f250 obs manifold leak.

So I have a obs 97 f250. It's had an exhaust leak since I bought it. Changed out manifold gasket and helped a lot. Now I have a leak at the bottom of the manifold or that air tube down there. Been thinking of just replacing with headers. Do aftermarket headers come with the air tube holes or can that all be deleted. Almost positive they will break trying to take out of old manifolds. Any info would be great. Thanks.

What engine? Lots of companies make headers. Banks is best - stainless steel but pricey. You need to make sure header studs aren't busted off in block.

Is it the single air tube off passenger side exhaust manifold or multiple tubes in both exhaust manifolds. If it's a single tube it can be replaced but it's a little pricy. Did mine 3 years ago at $120.

You've posted the same thing three times with no response. Give up while you're ahead. Also, reported for spam.

According to the list he is a registered vendor, and according to the guidelines he is posting on a thread that could benefit from his services. I think he isn't breaking any rules.

Same thing three times seems like spam to me...

It's not ethical and lowers the dignity of the site experience.

Never seen any other vendor do this, they could be in every thread, it's a forum about truck repair.

Also, how the hell would it help find an exhaust leak. That sounds like a copy and pasted response he posts whenever he sees something with the word leak in it.

X100....this "vendor" has been spamming many threads. It's excessive and should be taken care of by a FTE moderator.

I reported it and the mod replied that sadly, there's nothing they can do because he's registered as a vendor.

That's really classy and will send customers your way in droves. Be prepared for an avalanche of orders.

All kidding aside this has to be a joke.

He's actually got a decent idea for his product....I've gotten him to respond before in other threads, his way of going about things isn't the best sometimes, no doubt.

I've been wondering if he had a legit product and how it works.
