Man I never would off thought of this. Great idea that I'm about to go out and use right now to find my truck exhaust leak. Thank you!

Thankx Buddy. I use this method on my Burb and found the two manifolds craked and also found some leaks on some welds on pipe. I taped the vaccum pipe to the tail pipe. It workS. AMAZING. BROTHER THANK YOU AGAIN. CHEERS.

As a home remodeler, I use soapy water to check for gas leaks all the time, for instance after installing a cook range. But I'd have never thought so this for an exhaust leak. Brilliant! Thanks!

Dude, same! Subscribed at that part.

Funny video, but at the same time, very informative. This method with vacuum cleaner and soapy water is also the smartest way to find exhaust leaks.

Thank you. Found the leak at the flange in less than 2 minutes and never broke a sweat all while underneath the truck..

This was great! I loved the metal with the vacuum scene. I've been working on a custom exhaust for my 1936 Chevy truck with a 5.3 LS. Headers have been a nightmare and my old timer buddy said dump tranny oil down the carb and find the smoke. After about a gallon, my neighbors are annoyed and I have a guilty conscience. I thought about this but was thinking it wouldn't build pressure due to valves being open. I'm sure EFI throttle bodies seal better than carbs. If that's a problem I'll seal off the carb. Easy enough. Going to do this to find a vacuum leak too. Thanks man

This was perfect bro thank you. Big 5.6 liter and it was just my gasket needed to be changed. Typical armada 2006 se lol 200k though no problem original everything except I changed the suspension…..runs like new sounds awesome with a flow master exhaust kit as well might I add

Agreed. This is the best and safest method that uses sight, sound, and touch to locate exhaust leaks.

I love how you included the removal of the shop vac from it's home. The simple things can create frustrations and are commonly editted out. It is funny, it's life. The moments we say, "Really?! F*ckng come on!" Good stuff. Great video.

I just purchased my jeep 3 days ago and I noticed about 2 days later the engine sounded really loud and especially when I accelerated. I’m going to take it to the shop this weekend and I’m really nervous it’s going to be something huge.

I was a mechanic and we use to just get some rags and hold them over the tailpipe and the leak would make a lot of noise. Just get someone to look for it while you plug the pipe.

cool trick ty for sharing

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Just the day before yesterday my wife said your 04 crv is so quiet I didn’t even know it was running. Then yesterday I started it up and it sounded like the muffler feel off. But the noise is not coming from the muffler, it sounds more like it is coming from the catalytic converter. Somewhere around the cat. Could it be the change in temperature “ like the weather “that caused a crack or what? It went from summer weather to almost freezing in the morning. Could that be what caused the exhaust leak? Thanks for your help, James

Plug off the other pipe if you have duals! I'm about to try this. My diy welding job came terrible.

I was told my car has an exhaust leak as well. But it’s getting to where I can smell exhaust in my vents when the A/C or heat is on and it’s making me sleepy when sit at a light for a while. I’ve noticed this from when I was younger and we used to have kerosene heaters and when the kerosene runs out the smell puts me in a real deep sleep. But I gotta get to work and it’s a hard thing to save up for a mechanic to replace. I really hope I can get it done soon for the sake of me and others around me.
