I spray carb cleaner around the engine. The RPMs will increase when I hit a
leaking spot. You will be able to find them quickly. It has always worked
for me.

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.

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 Don
