I'm going to be replacing my exhaust manifold gaskets on both sides on my 4.7 (04 Ram 1500 ), my question is, do I have to take the exhaust pipe off the manifold? If I leave it on is there enough room to work around to scrape off the old gasket and put the new one one?


Thanks

 

should be enough room to do so, but it just makes it easier to take em off, good luck, and take pics i need to do this soon lol

 

it will be tight but you might be able to get-r-dun. when I put my headers on i took everything off and there wasnt much room to work with.

 

Thanks guys, those nuts and bolts that connect the exhaust pipe to the manifold don't even look like nuts and bolts anymore, they look like barnacles. I'm pretty sure they'll either break or I'll have to cut them off if I try to take them off, so I'd like to not mess with them unless I have to.
