I bought a 2011 transit connect and all electric doors locks where not working correctly. Door agar switch and wouldn’t lock. To replace all door latch assembly’s would have been close to $1500. That was unacceptable. The door agar problem I just jumped the two wires together. Van thinks door shut all the time. Turned out the door locks have a tiny motor inside every door latch assembly. The motor was just used up. I replaced the motor in every door at a cost of $7 each. Problem solved. Even the sliding door I fixed. Much harder to get to motor but doable. Bought motors new off eBay. Hope this helps someone out https://www.ebay.com/itm/203176710226?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IUqhQx04TQe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=kZOfkNhuR--&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Is it just dented or bent, and you're worried about decreased performance? Or is there a hole in it? Either way, you want to replace it. It is not cheap. You can't simply order a piece of pipe, then bolt it on. The entire exhaust manifold and catalytic converter is a 1 piece unit. But as you can see, it is a bolt on installation. Bolts at the exhaust manifold. Bolts at the midpipe. You will want new gaskets. While you're at it, I would also install new O2 sensors. Which makes it all a little more expensive. But you don't want to finish the job, then have an exhaust leak. The O2 sensors have to be slightly fouled already, so why reinstall them, since you will eventually need to replace them? If you do decide to replace it, please chronicle the journey and take us along. A few of us would love to see photos, or even a video.
