[QUOTE="mnmlvince, post: 1949192, member: 68403"] Hi All, I recently bought a 2012 Raptor as a fun second car. It’s high mileage (150K) and I’m mostly focused on replacing all the fluids and general preventative maintenance rather than heavily modding the car. I brought it to a shop to do fluid changes and they mentioned both exhaust manifolds are rusted/leaking. The car isn’t noticeably that much louder (but I don’t know what it was like before I got it - it’s just not that loud). They quoted $2700 to replace them as they said they need to pull the motor. I can live with the sound and get it through inspection, but I’m questioning the safety aspect not knowing what gasses are getting into the cabin. This shop won’t fix them through welding, but I’m thinking that might be a better solution? I could potentially do headers but I don’t want the truck to be significantly louder - seems like I’d need to do other exhaust components as well if I did that. Should I try to have them welded? Replace headers? Just suck up the cost and replace the manifolds? Appreciate any advice! [/QUOTE]
