Hey JJ. I think you got your exhaust leak fixed but I just saw an idea someone had posted on another site about finding exhaust leaks and thought I would share. I'd never thought about it but it is a really good idea.

Hook a shop vac to the tailpipe of your car (reverse the shop vac..set it to blow instead of vac) then spray soapy water on all the joints and watch for bubbles. If you have an x pipe and duals you just have to plug the opposite tail pipe.

That's an awesome idea.

Here is a little teaser:
It was burning the tires on the dyno so they got a big guy to sit in the trunk
Had some belt slip at 20 psi so a new hot rod tensioner is on the way....then we'll see what it makes.

That is a tease. You didn't even tell us what the numbers were with the belt slipping. Lol.

Well after looking at the rear axle on the Boss I found a bolt that can be removed to by an aftermarket bleeder system. Picked one up so it looks like the watts link will be going on still..... don't worry Harold I still have some more here!
