Yeeeeehaaa...
Jamie McD came round yesterday and helped fit my Decat centre and rounded BB, sounds awesome, possibly a little too awesome so a swap might be in order Jay..
I digress,
how can I tell if all the seals are good and tight between sections? Jay had a good looksie under the car after completion and all seemed ok, but when you fit gas pipes you put a splodge of fairy liquid to test for leaks, what can I do with the exhaust?
If it was blowing a little then it would be louder and I think I want it to be a bit quieter, so a check for leaks before swapping to a resonated section is in order...

As always I am endebted for your assistance in this matter...

Well done to both of you........and not burnt in the process

 

Stick your foot over the end of the BB to block it, while somebody else sticks their head under the car looking & listening for leaks.
About the only good method apart from nipping to your local [flame suit on] Kwick fit centre [flame suit off] for a free check.

P.s. I've left you a question on the other zorst thread

 

How's it driving Andy? Any noticable improvement?

See, I told u it would be loud(er)!

Checked the joins for any significant leaks but couldn't feel any air escaping. The old 'foot up the exhaust' trick sounds like a winner though - or for an even better seal, a small white poodle would be ideal...
