I'll caveat this with "I haven't seen it yet."
As noted in previous posts, I know I have a small exhaust leak. Can't hear it at idle; can't find it with a rag stuffed in the tailpipe; but I know it's there. At 40+mph, with a little load on, I hear PFFT PFFT PFFT. You know...
Anyway, there's a Midas around the corner so I dropped it off; figured they could find it and give me an estimate.
So they're saying the leak is at the manifold. Parts are cheap, only $225 or so. Labor is gonna be the killer since all the bolts are rusted. Overall they quoted me like, $1100.
Usually I do all my own work, but in this case I have no idea. I replaced the cat-back exhaust on my Nissan about 15 years ago and had to drill a couple of bolts. That kind of put me off exhaust work...
Thoughts? Recommendations? Is $1100 crazy for this?
