So Fix it

How to Clamp an Exhaust Leak

The exhaust on a car or truck directs the gasses built up from the internal combustion process out to the back of the vehicle, that way the gasses dont build up inside of the vehicle and cause a carbon monoxide poisoning. If you develop an exhaust leak, then not only will it make an annoying noise, but if it could leak exhaust gasses into the cab which could be dangerous. To fix the issue, you can use a specialized clamp called an exhaust clamp to fix the issue.

Instructions

1

Put the vehicle on jack stands with the jack. Start the engine and listen to locate the exact spot of the exhaust leak, then turn off the engine.

2

Crawl under the car and go to the exhaust leak. Wrap the clamp around the leak, which should not only be a hole, but should also have carbon buildup around the hole, indicating where the leak is.

3

Tighten the clamp down over the exhaust using the flathead screwdriver, making sure that its secure all the way around. Lower the vehicle off the jack stands with the jack.
