How to Check for Holes in a Vehicles Exhaust System

If you detect and repair a hole or leak in your exhaust system at an early stage, you can fix it relatively cheaply and easily. But if you allow a rusty hole to go unaddressed for a while, it can quickly spread, robbing you of performance and gas mileage while eating away at your exhaust system. You may even need to replace the system entirely if this happens, which is certainly not a cheap fix. If you suspect that you might have a hole in your exhaust system, just follow these quick, easy steps to check for yourself.

Instructions

1

Allow your car to cool completely if it has been driven recently.

2

Open the garage door if your car is stored in an enclosed garage. Turn the car on and let the engine idle for several seconds.

3

Wad up an old rag and attempt to stuff it into the tailpipe. As you do this, caully observe two things: the force of the air blowing out of the tailpipe and the sound of the engine.

4

If and when the engine begins slowing down or struggling, pull the rag out. If you do not hear any change in engine speed within 30 seconds of stuffing the tailpipe, remove the rag then.

5

Turn the car off.
