Exhaust help
So my flange broke, i had the idea to take a peace of pipe and jamb it up into the manifold and put some exhaust sealer around the flange area... But i need to know what is the inside diameter of the namifold? like what size pipe would fit inside of it? Its a '93 f150 302 with stock manifolds. i dont own a tape mesure so... help please

the reason i dont care at the moment is because in the summer im going to get a good set of headers and run true dual exhaust into thrush welds, with 2 90 degree bend exhaust tips in the rear after i clean rust proof and undercoat the frame. and suspension parts. im just trying to get her through the winter, plus i am broke lol XD and the only pull a part here is OUTRAGIOUS x.x they charge stupid amounts of money for stupuid things. like i went their to get a fender they wanted $100 for it and i told them i could get it for $50, so i got a new one instead lol

In a perfect world we would all do that. Sometimes you do not have the option to fix it right the first time. Sometimes you just have to get the truck going, however possible, in order to get to work the next day, or get it out of wherever it is. Sometimes, like the OP, you need to bide your time until you have the $ to fix it right.

My issue with the way he wants to fix it, is that you're going to have to throw money and time at fixing it by jamming a pipe in the manifold. Money is better spent by fixing it right the first time instead of spending double the amount by botching it the first time.

I would imagine if the OP had the $ to fix it correctly right now, he would. I once "fixed" a fuel leak by buying a pack of gum at a gas station, chewing it all up, and mushing it all around the leak. That got us down the road to a city with a parts store.
I had to spend time and money to get the gum on the fuel line, but I guess I should have saved that money until that tiny town grew enough to have a parts store open up?
Sometimes situation dictates a less than perfect solution and we do what we gotta do.
