Found my right up-pipe was leaking. I have been searching the posts and see they make an update for the up-pipes. They are around $300? I am kinda on a budget so I don't think that is an option. If I were to replace just the donuts, is there any other place to get them than just from ford. Does the turbo have to come off to replace the donuts?

 

here is a pot I read a while back

Dont use the ford donuts, Fel Pro P/N 8194 seals it far better, Dunno what they make em out of but they squish far better than the rock hard donuts, Just lube em up with high heat anti seize so they squeeze into every nook n cranny that needs it, It works Very Well!

 

Good to know. Us early 99 guys don't really have the option for the bellowed pipes for less than $900 from international. Davidson915, let us know how well they seal up for you if you go this route.

 

where do you pick up those fel pro donuts?

 

I would imagine your local parts house has them. They should be able to cross reference that part # or their own in house part # associated with it.

Just googled it and that part is a small block chevy donut. Got lots of hits from psd owners using them.

 

I am really not sure anymore,but a good parts store should sell fel-pro brand
not sure about the hobby parts stores

 

I also read on one site that they used a donut for a 350 chev and was better than the ford ones,but have no experience with that

seems like a lot of work to experment much

 

Just checked, Fel Pro P/N 8194 is the sbc donut. This is another: Car Quest F17250 exhaust donuts.

 

well that does bring it down to two options

 

thanks for the info. Calling on the parts right now
