how to check for exhaust blowing?

[ste68blue]

Hi all, can anyone help again please?

When i first got my terrano over two years ago i put a front exhaust on because it was blowing quite badly.

I suspect it is blowing again, but my question is how do i figure out whether it is or not before i go ahead and replace it again...?

Cheers
Stephen

Get underneath and have a listen
If it's that hard to be sure , leave it

Get underneath and listen, get ur mrs/mate to hold a rag over the end the pressure will make any blowing immediately obvious

Turn radio up cures a multitude of defects
Wait for exhaust to fall off then its ready for changing

Rag over then end works well.Black sooting underneath will tell you if theres a leak..

dont think your meant to use the rag method if you have a turbo as the back pressure can damage it, might be ok for a few seconds but dont overdo it.
