I have a 2005 ram 1500 5.7 hemi 4x4 quad cab. I'm told my exhaust manifolds are rottedat the flange meeting the y pipe. I also have some broken exhaust manifold bolts. I dont have much money but is is very loud, smelly, and annoying anymore. I guess the flange let loose and heard a big pop. so im told I need ne manifolds, and y pipe with converters. would it be easier and cheaper to go with headers instead? over the summer i needed a new muffler with tailpipe and resonator. was told $900. I had a new muffler put on and had a custom dual exhaust to tail end for $300 instead. all I need now is manifold or headers to the muffler?? of I cut out the converters or do headers and straight pipe, what about the o2 sensors? I was given a $2200 estimate at monroe. I know I can get new parts cheaper than them. need suggestions kinda wanna go headers and stainless bolts. seems simpler to me.
