Review on 🔧 OE FIX Dorman 674-559 Passenger Side Exhaust Manifold Kit - Compatible with Ford / Lincoln Models by Rocco Guale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The sound was demo, there wasn't a single leak anywhere on the exhaust

Well I've put up with loud exhaust since I bought my Expedition about two years ago, first there was a full side seam muffler. outside. I replaced it, but after a week my left hand manifold was working, so I bought a Dorman replacement, cleaned it thoroughly with paint thinner, then applied a few coats of high temp silver rust paint and installed it with little to no problem. It wasn't long, maybe a week, when the right manifold started making that horrible noise. I had trouble getting the old one off but found out later that you have to remove the motor mount and jack the motor up a bit lol. temporary color. When I worked up the courage to start it things got weird, I turned the key, my starter motor turned but I could barely hear my engine actually running. The sound was demonstratively pleasing, and there wasn't a single exhaust leak anywhere. Unfortunately, I now have another problem to investigate. Since I installed a stainless steel free-flow muffler on it, I didn't get the sound I had when I first installed it. I love the properly tuned sound you get when you put your foot on the ground with a good free-flow exhaust, but at least that horrible noise of manifold leaks is gone, forever, I pray it be the ugliest noise must that you can do with a car. Thank you again Dorman for a well made perfectly fitting product like all the others I have purchased and installed from you on my expedition!
