I really just need to fix this exhaust leak. Its right at the first joint after the manifold. Its a 2 bolt clamp, which Im assuming has a ball and socket type connection. Im hoping I can find something that I can do a bolt on replacment fix with rather than taking it all down to weld. Does anyone know if I can just order the whole shebang? Its pretty rusted so a total replcement wouldnt be out of line. Thanks for all the replies on this, Im lovin cruisin this truck around. I went to the lumber yard the other day to pick up railings for my deck, and like 3 different dudes commented on my "work" truck.
I believe exhaust leaks can also cause back firing as it allows cold air in.
