Finding exhaust leaks
 
https://s1.postimg.org/3k6nhwy6fj/File_001.png
Holding up the subaru - vaping stereotype I guess

Tools needed:
-Latex gloves
-A vape (cigarettes don't work too well, not enough smoke)
-Aquarium line (also great for brake bleeds and super cheap)
-zip tie helps make a better seal (optional)

1. Plug the other exhaust tip with a latex glove.

2. Keep inhaling and exhaling into the aquarium line. Needs quite a bit of smoke to fill up, don't get too light headed.:eyebulge:

3. You may need to "burp" the other side occasionally to get the smoke to mingle around inside the exhaust. Simply stretch out the glove and get it to snap.

4. Look with a flashlight around to see where the smoke is coming out of.
