Any tricks for finding exhaust leaks??

96mystic · February 9th, 2007, 12:46 PM

Any of you have a good way of finding out where leaks are coming from?? I can smell the exhaust very slightly inside the car. Under hard acceleration you can just barely hear a leak... Thanks for the help!

I use a smoke machine and backfeed it through the egr. But im sure you dont have a smoke machine.

But yeah hold something over the pipes and no need to rev it, just hold them there and you should beable to hear it. Aftermarket pipes?
