Exhaust manifolds
#11
Yeah, nothing is cheap any more......
The exhaust on my truck is rusting out, and starting to fall apart.... So, I am going over to my buddies shop on Monday, to have a look, and see what I am going to need. I'll get the stuff, roll it into the shop, and do the work myself..... (and fix the previous owners screw-ups while I am at it..... who puts two inch exhaust on an 8 liter engine?????) So, should be under 200 bucks for me.

Can you explain to me the manifold price difference? Drivers side is $90 passenger is $190. I have no idea why.

Yeah, that does seem really odd...... Might call the parts department, and ask for a price check, and see if their list price is also strange, and ask THEM why. Of course, you'll probably get something to the effect of "I don't have a clue".....

Ok, So for some reason I'm having all kinds of issues getting the hardware for the manifolds from dodge. I am under the impression that each manifold has 4 normal bolts and 4 studs. There are 2 different studs. One has a large spacer and the other does not. I have seen the dorman replacement bolts and they only have one type of stud. The parts department I talked to is all over the place. I'm going to have to call someone else. So the question is are there 2 different types of studs for the manifold or just one?
