Exhaust question...
So I just recently bought a 93'f 350 dump truck w the 7.3 Turbo in it... I'm still finding all the little problems and quirks with it from being neglected by the PO... well it seems the piece that connects both manifolds to the Turbo is corroded through and leaking exhaust, so not only is it loud but I'm also losing precious boost!! Lol what is this piece called? Where can I find one? And what's the odds of fixing it up with some weld if I take it off?

That sir, would be called the Y-pipe / up pipe. I have welded a few, more often than not they just crack out again. But if its rusted through, i dont see anyway to weld it. A little birdie told me that DPS has a few of them Y-pipes for the factory / 093 kit, you might give them a call, or check local to see what a shop would cost to build one. While youre at all that, i would search for a 3" down pipe and turndown and that will help her out alot, especially with a 3 or 4" exhaust behind it.

All of that in stainless... uhh... i would venture a guess between 6-800 probably, including the upgraded turndown. Done at the exhaust shop.. im just guessing based on what little stuff i have had our local one do for me.
