    Yeah I forgot to mention the manifold. I just replaced mine on the drivers side along with the gasket and all next bolts back in October. The dealer said whenever they have the 4.7 in for an exhaust leak, they are told to swap out the manifold too, due to it warping.

    Big WIN for me. Guys - avoid the dealer and go local!

    Shop did the swap for $120 - so I have $310 invested in this repair. I thought it was going to cost $1000! Made my day, I honestly felt bad leaving the place having to pay such a low price for the work they did. I know it was a b**** to get out the 3 broken bolts on that manifold. Good reputable shop at an incredibly fair price, I'll take it.
