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.

 

not yet thanks

 

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 have found an exhaust shop that i am going to see after the first of the year. they can mendrel bend 3" stainless. i am going to see if they can do a system up for me with a true y pipe.

What shop did you find in southern Mass?

 

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.
