Exhaust leaks and rubber hose

[jpcaudill]

I am wondering if someone can give me a good method to test for exhaust leaks..

Also, I'm wondering if someone may know where to get 3" rubber hosing, that for example comes with F-Max turbo kits...

Thanks!

Where on the exhaust do you think it's leaking ? I had mine leaking around the exhaust manifold and the wastegate... just pop the hood and rev it up a bit while looking at the engine and you can hear a farting noise which just isnt proper.... hence exhaust leaks... also look around for carbon build up.. i had it all over the front side of the engine head...

As for the rubber hosing.. i got all mind direct from Turbonetics... it whatever color u want.. any of the sizes....

My local NAPA store sells the tubing. It ain't cheap!

Ya I found the exhaust leak... as I suspected, right side of the manifold, as denoted by the layer of carbon and the missing head bolt nut!!

DAMNED!

As for rubber hosing, i went to NAPA and they had this cheap vinyl shit, is that what you're talking about??

It was like the stuff that comes with intakes.
