Well, it seems that the constant reoccurrence of an exhaust leak stemmed from a pulling exhaust stud. I'd tighten it, the noise would go away, come back, rinse, repeat.
A couple of weeks ago I took her out for a spin, heard that sound, and got under after cooling to see what the deal was. A quarter turn later, the stud dropped right out. So I'm gonna do an EZLOK insert, and pray. Pics to follow, along with any tips, snags, or bonifide cuss sessions. The fun never ends Right Joe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |

Time Sert is the way to go. I think Aircooled.net sells the inserts and rents the tools.
