Exhaust Leak


I don't know where its coming from... is there an easy way of finding it or do i just keep tightening them and see if it fixes it?

Sounds like a clicking? Are your gaskets at the heads facing the right way? If you could get the car in the air, you could feel Around (don't touch!) the pipes for leaks.

You should put on headers, then mid pipe, then catback loosely. Tighten from front to rear and align as you tighten.

try tightning them again and if you cant figure it out take it to a shop to find where it is and get them tightened.


just out of curiosity what kind of mustang do you have. is it a V6. what kind of mid pipe and headers did you get and what kind of mufflers are on your car???
