Broken Exhaust Question
Hey guys. I need a little advice on how to proceed. I have a 1990 F250 4x4 Non-Turbo. It presently has a stock exhaust. The issue that I have is where both sides of the manifold come together. I'm calling it the Y-pipe, but I'm not sure if that is the correct term for that location. The pipe from the passenger side has completely broken away from the Y-pipe.
I called the local exhaust shop and they want like $65 just to weld it back into place. That seems a little high to me, so I'm considering other options (preferably DIY options that don't require welding).
I want to upgrade the exhaust a little, but I don't want it to be crazy loud. I don't think I want to straight pipe it, but I may consider duals or a free'er flowing muffler.
What's everyone's thoughts?

$65 isn't a bad price if the existing system is in good enough shape to repair. My 93 F350 had a cobbled on pair of stacks that would not fit in my garage and just had to go appearance wise. Local shop welded to still solid front pipes to a pair of glass packs and then turn downs right in front of the rear axle. Simple system was still slightly over $200 out the door.

The solution is... Since your exhaust is shot anyway, find yourself a turbo kit! Then, you won't need the old pipes anymore, + more HP!
Seriously, though, either find a welder friend or have them do it... $65 isn't much, at least not compared to getting yourself a welder.
