My leaf blower fit perfectly over the ends of the exhaust, from there wrapped a bunji cord over the trigger to keep it on and then just sprayed soapy water over everything and looked for bubbles. The exhaust donuts are bad on each side.
I'm just going to replace the last of the old exhaust.

Great idea! Probably would have saved me a couple thousand if I had thought of that years ago!
 
I used the same trick this last week. Except I used a shop vac on blower mode.

I Ended up needing new headers. The collectors were rusted out with far to many pin holes to reliable weld up.
