up pipe leaking
So as some of you have read I am totally new here. I just purchased a 96 F350 7.3 and its my 1st diesel.
I thought the exhaust manifold was leaking but upon further inspection its the up pipe right where it connects to the manifold. I can't afford new up pipes right now. Is there a gasket I can purchase? I was looking around and found a del pro 8194 but from the looks of it they fit the SD not the OBS.

Fel-Pro 8194 Up-pipe Gasket Set - Riffraff Diesel Performance
Looks like the right ones to me. But, like said in the add, it is a temporary fix at best.

Are you saying that its leaking where the up-pipe connects to the manifold? There is no gasket there. If there is a leak there, the only options are to try to tighten the bolts or replace the pipe. I know its a chunk of cash but Riffraff's bellowed pipes are the right choice. Riffraff Diesel Bellowed Up-pipe Kit 94-Early 99 - Riffraff Diesel Performance

It is possible to build your own up pipes for probably around 100 bucks but you have to have the time and facilities to do it.... and a stainless steel capable welder. I and a few other guys here have built our own

Never asked this question, sorry for the momentary jack OP.. Can those uppies be installed w/out pulling the tranny or anything major?
