i have heard of this before, but wondering what everyone has done to fix it, and that is the passenger exhaust header leaking. would it be better to take it off and fix, or just replace?

 

depends on where/why it's leaking. if the manifold itself is leaking then you could either weld it back up or just forget it and buy headers or stock replacements. if the exhaust manifold gasket is damaged or missing, then you'll just need to get a new one and change it out. you could have lost some bolts that connect the manifold to the engine also

 

from what i have heard condensation from the A/C drips down and slowly rusts them out. i'm not saying this is my problem, but it is a possibility. i have heard it is way cheaper to buy a set of aftermarket set, cause one set of aftermarket headers is barely more expensive than one OEM header. it has gotten worse the past couple of weeks so maybe it will be easier to pinpoint so i don't have to do a lot of guessing and do extra work that is not necessary.
