I just blew a header gasket and the car sounds horrible and very loud. Its like im driving a go kart but louder, does anybody know how much it will cost to have one replaced?

 

If your talking about the gasket in between the block and the exhaust manifold, i got aqoute for mine and it was like 150-200 each side. I ended up doing it with a friend and only paid like 30 bucks (parts) for it. Do it yourself, not that hard at all, just a PITA to get in there and loosen everything up.

 

i dont even think the v6 has to drop the kmember does it? do it yourself, you and a friend should be able to do it on a saturday.

 

Well theres no way Im paying over 60 so im doing it myself I guess.

 

Sounds more like your exhaust manifold. A headgasket won't make your car sound loud and bad but the exhaust gasket will. What year model do you have?

 

he said header gasket

 

Yea, do it yourself, some shops charge out the wazoo and it doesn't even take them all that long with a lift. It will take you around 3 hours to do, because you'll have to work from both the top and bottom. It's not hard at all, just a few bolts, but the cramped space is what makes it challenging.

 

That's what I get for posting under the influence...[:'(]

 

like everyone said it shouldnt take that long overall. but have fun getting the manifold bolts off. unless car car has been kept from rain, and isnt very old, likely theyre rusted on there and may need to be torched off.

 

it wont be hard at all
it will cost u about 22 bux for the gaskets from advanced auto parts and its not that bad at all
i just replaced my headers over thanksgiving and it wasnt THAT bad
