Exhaust shop

Is there a decent exhaust shop for getting some work done on my F350 in the RI/Southeast MA area. The passenger side manifold/y pipe connection has a leak and the bolts are not going to come off with out coming apart.

Have you tried putting some heat to the nuts with a torch? A propane torch is usually good enough.

How did it go??

If the heat alone doesn't do it, let them cool some but still be very warm-- and hit 'em with PB blaster or similar product and let soak a few hours or more.. Longer the better... Worked for me anyway..

I highly suggest any Lou's Custom Exhaust shops. They do all my exhaust work and I am totally happy with the work they do.

Be careful with Lou's... I've seen more than a few cars with mufflers literally hanging off the car, and they had huge LOU'S CUSTOM EXHAUST stickers.

I've never had a problem, so I don't know.
