Hi Don,
One easy way is to get the car in the air, with the engine idling then
have someone block off the tail pipes with a shop rag or similar.
As the pressure builds up you will be able to locate the leaks by
listening for the source of the hiss. If the leaks are very small the
engine will eventually stall.
Small leaks will take up over time as they fill with carbon.

Subject: Looking for exhaust leak test
Anyone have an easy way to locate exhaust leaks? I just finished
installing a SS exhaust system and would like to check for leaks before
I take it off the jack stands.
Thanks
