bellow joints leaking?
I have been smelling a slight exhaust smell in the cab of the EX. I slide under the truck and looked at the up pipes and bellows. I saw a slight amount of soot on the outside of both bellows.
So does that mean I have a leak? What is the most economical fix? Does the turbo need to be removed?

We can set you up with the replacement bellows (if you are handy with a welder) or a wholly different y-pipe with the new bellows already welded in on exchange. The bellows run $50, the ypipe runs $250.
Let us know if we can help you!

I had a leaky up pipe, not the y, at the bellows. There was some soot on the exhaust down pipe. I figured it out for sure by climbing underneath with a light and having the wife romp on the pedal. It was really obvious! Exhaust smell gone after replacing the up pipe. That pipe was only about $110 from white bear lake. didn't need to take out the turbo, but it was really fun working behind it...
