Exhaust System: Testing and Inspection



Exhaust System, Checking For Leaks

- Start engine and run at idling speed.
- Plug tailpipes with cloths or stoppers until check is completed.
- Listen for noise at connection points (cylinder head/exhaust manifold, exhaust manifold/front exhaust pipe, etc.) to locate any leaks.
- Correct any leaks that are found.
