2 ways to check for an exhaust leak

[@EXOVCDS]

Beats feeling with your hands / listening with your ear around a HOT exhaust! Nice!

[@ronenfe]

that's what i did today and didn't find the leak, i'm going to try a blower and dish soap

[@SteveRobReviews]

I have the same machine. I have used a leaf blower in the tailpipe and it works too :)

[@garycampbell8663]

Good way to check for exhaust leaks with out burning your self, thanks for sharing.

[@1970chevelle396]

I have that same smoke machine and that expandable thing.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I really like that smoker a lot!

[@rawfoodphilosophy7061]

lol ......best commercial ever.........I spent $15 on a vape pen and taped it to my exhaust pipe.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

yep just like @scottykilmer uses a cigar for an evap test!

[@ziggassedup]

Gotta love the ones that fix themselves...

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

In this case I think so.

[@wyattoneable]

A smoke machine in your arsenal, nice. 89 Harley equals battery on wheels, good idea. And the very best thing is no exhaust leak. You had to be happy about that.

[@diydarkmatter]

thats a pretty cool toy mike . i dint know thats how they found leaks but it makes alot of sense . glad your leaks sealed . i learned something to nice . tell helga i said hi buddy have a great night .

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks Dark!

[@gonzgarr1592]

the best that works for me is the vacuum blowing in

[@scuba422123]

also you can use a stethoscope pull out the probe only use the hose end then track around while running

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

+scuba422123 I like a cool exhaust if possible. I always tend to burn myself with a hot 1!

[@txsviking]

I like your power supply.

[@redlinedetection]

Nice video, Mike! Glad you're liking your Total Tech and Easy Intake :)

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Yes and more videos to come using it! Thank you!

[@redlinedetection]

@@TheDisgruntledMechanic No problem! We look forward to seeing more :)

[@samsquires2877]

Very nice. I guess its good when the problem fixes it self

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Yeah unless it is electrical because you know they will be back!

[@danielbudimir8519]

I have a new exhaust installed by a mechanic...I think I hear a hissing sound...should I just make sure the bolts are tight.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I would take it back to the mechanic if there is a problem with his work.

[@danielbudimir8519]

@@TheDisgruntledMechanic ya I agree but they are far away and usually takes a couple of days

[@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404]

I was waiting for the bladder to blow out as soon as you walked away. Now I'm disappointed. LOL. Fixed, no parts required.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Cool video with the redline smoker

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks!

[@stuzman52]

That bladder looks very nice and can come in handy around a lot of places to find leaks. I need to get me one of those for sure. Have a good one Mike!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

It is an awesome with I am sure many uses I never thought of, yet!

[@BigDog50001]

The disclaimer ruined the surprise, unsubscribing!! ;)

[@vantime2911]

nice job using the smoke machine to test for an exhaust leak.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Thanks Buddy!

[@marksteven3534]

Why not reference the flow meter on the smoker to determine if there is a leak, ball drops to the bottom = no leak.

[@Engineer9736]

That inflatable thing up the rearend looks kinda kinky 😂

[@dtnel]

Don't need to vacuum pushing air as you have the smoke machine with the recommended pressure. Had you did that on the front side your probably could've did possible damage depending on the pressure the vacuum is putting out. I have the Mac or Matco that looks like that. Redline makes it and I picked it up at a pawn shop practically new for $400 cash which when I looked it up it was $800-$900 Appx. AESwave.com has a new smoke machine that they started stocking here in the last year or less that's below $600 so it's good to see the prices come down. I've seen some nice homemade machines as well. One thing I'm going to try is using the dyed smoke machine oil that snap on uses for their machine. I hope it don't harm the machine I own. Figured it could give me an extra edge using the dyed smoke (fingers crossed). I'm sure if it kills my machine my snap on guy will be there ready to sell me a new one7 MY machine came with cone adapters for putting it in the exhaust, other variable size openings as well. They're similar to plastic oil funnels with the opening in the middle. I did buy a pump bladder similar to the one you displayed in the video. Picked it up @ aeswave.com as well. Keep the Vids coming and steadily improving and you'll get more and more subscribers. Definitely more than my 0 subscribers... 😂😂😂😂

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

well my point was you can use a vacuum pushing without smoke and the muffler reduces pressure when doing it from behind muffler. you will feel the air coming from the vacuum to find leak .

[@throttlebottle5906]

my ears and nose work well, assuming it's a full quiet exhaust =p no ricer straight pipe fart cans, open headers lol

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

+throttle bottle I run my electric cars when I want quiet!

[@thebullshorns4104]

I wish my exhaust would fix itself

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Well as I thought, when I did get back to the leak the rust & crud had fixed it!

[@thebullshorns4104]

My car has a bad exauhst leak .when I give it gas it wants to die out .Ive changed the plugs, wires,fuel filter.my question is will my exauhst make my car sputter out?trying to do this on my own because of limited money and trust in any person not Just mechanics.

[@indyvin1622]

Sloppy communication skills quit at 2:27

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

well I am glad it quit at 2:27!

[@mica122213]

dont have one, now what

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I guess you have to get creative.

[@throttlebottle5906]

oh look, a hardley runs davidshart..... not fan because I know the mechanical abortions of them. mainly inherent lack of balance etc. ;) good thing women like vibrating things :)))

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

+throttle bottle over 90000 miles on this one with very little problems. I guess you like what,you like.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

and lets see why was I wondering where you have been and not commenting???? silly me! haha!

[@throttlebottle5906]

careful what you wonder about, it may trigger some 6th sense!! just too busy for hours of semi-obnoxious youtubing :))

[@MrUnix-cu9yy]

Very cool video. It helps. Thank you 😊

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Glad it was helpful!
