Exhaust leak on passenger side. Three nuts for flange triangle surprisingly easy to remove.
Flange on exhaust pipe is rotted off. Heat riser butterfly is gone.
Autozone rents for free exhaust tools. I need a straight flange pipe about 8" long. Shouls be easy to replace.
Should I replace heat riser or get a bypass???
By the way I live in southern Arizona.

Wouldn't worry about heat riser in AZ. They operated marginal at best when factory new!

I wish someone had found mine before the floor board Rust and the side rot out like they do. I fixed the leak and globbed goop (Bondo...) and whatever I could in the rust holes like those of us who don't weld in patch panels do. It works for what it is. Truck was never meant to be a show truck anyway.

All that's left is to put the front driveshaft back on, skid plate, and fill it up.

I redid mine as well. The rivets didn't come back together like I wanted. One side I took the hinge apart and the other side I left it together. Neither side is perfect but works. You really need one of those C clamp things for the hinge rivets. I did mine in the vice and it looks ok and seems as good as it should be.
