And I'm sure that you found out they are three times the cost of the donut style pipes.
They are worth the extra expense.

I'm sitting here lookin at the bellowed pipes, making a shopping list for spring and one very long intimate weekend w/my truck, is there any issues of leaking where these mount to the manifolds? ALso, are there studs in the manifolds or are the up pipes bolted to the manifolds? I know I'm going to have to cut the bolts holding the uP pipes on cause I remember looking at them thinking oh boy, they're about gone. Unfortunately I can't remember if they were studs.

(when I did the first set (read earlier in the thread) I just tightened them a little more, and the old bolts snapped off and fell out - easy. Some of the up-pipe kits also include all hardware, which makes it really nice.

so far, found the bellows to be 300.00, havent shopped any harder then that yet. Was going to swing by the international service shop down the road here, but not just yet. Sadly, if it leaks, it will stay leaking for a bit, if you know what I mean
