I have developed an exhaust leak [:@]at the flange that connects to the manifold. The estimate for repair is $1,800 give or take[:@][:@][:@]. Seems a little bit expensive. Is this within normal pricing for this kind of fix? Can it be welded? Thanks! ...Bob

 

On what year and model truck and who was that estimate from????????????????????

 

Mike, it is a 2001 Discovery ll SE and I think the flange broke completely off. It had a little leak that I could barely hear for about 6 months and then all of a sudden it sounded like it had no muffler at all. Thanks! ...Bob

 

So you have two choices, a new "Y" pipe or a repair at your lock muffler shop. Either way I would have the local muffler shop do the work.

 

Mike, I had it welded. It cost me $236 as opposed to $1,800 to replace the Y-pipe. They did a good job and it sounds great, I hope it lasts a while. Big savings. Thanks for your help. ...Bob
