I posted this last year, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad

Just saw this, and it may explain the leak that I can't seem to find. However, I am not running stainless, but stock exhaust. I don't run heat, so that's not an issue, but the backfire is.
Does this problem happen with the stock steel exhausts too? I assume it would, but this thread seems to focus only on the stainless. TIA |
