possible leak
while i was under the truck taking some pictures and cleaning up for my fluid
change i found this and i think i know what it is i just want another opinion
is it a down pipe leak? this is the passenger side im pretty sure the driver
side has one because i can see it from the top but i couldnt get a good look
at the passenger side from the top.
thanks

Looks like the drivers side is leaking but I don't see a leak on the passenger side. They are called up-pipes, not down-pipes. The pipe with all the soot on it is the drivers side.

EDIT: You can get new donuts and change them out.

about how much will the bellowed up pipes set me back?
from what i have read the amount of labor involved in putting new donuts on is pretty high so i should probably just save up for the bellowed pipes and do it right the first time.

Bellows run just shy of $400 IIRC. Contact Clay (Riffraff Performance).

Wow! I thought my leak was bad.... It looks like the pipe has actually slipped out of the flange a bit. You absolutely should go with the bellowed pipes. Call Clay and he'll hook you up. Well worth it.

Start soaking the bolts in PB Blaster too by the way. Those bolts are gonna be a bugger to get out.
