Exhaust Leak... Sound?
What does an exhaust leak sound like? I know this may be hard to explain but someone told me they could hear my exhaust leak and I have no clue what it would sound like...
And Im sorry if this is the right place for this I couldnt think of another better place...
Thanks guys

depends where its leaking tbh.
leaking manifolds tend to make a puffing noise, other wise listen for extra exhaust noise. if you find a spot on your exhaust thats louder then the tail pipe its probably leaking near there. you can usually see a exhaust leak as well, look for black soot almost like ground charcoal.

But yea, the point of the story is that not all dealerships are the same. Just ask around, you'll find a good one.

Injector noise? Recently i had my feul injectors cleand and the throttle body cleaned as well as the AC air box cleaned out... then I went on a trip to Rome GA and ever since I got back the sounds have been lingering... first a belt sqweak so i replaced it and a pulley then the grinding noise came... Im about fed up.
I have been taking it to the dealer where it was purchased and generally they do a good job bhut this time its like they just pop the hood scratch their heads and say ... "alright we fixed it" slame the hood down and give it back.
I think they messed something up that they dont want to admit...

serious??? maybe this test would work for the intake and major vacuum leaks but not for exhaust. a wet rag is no worse than a gradually clogging cat. if that dont stop it the rag wont
