It might sound crazy but it's the sure fire way to find an exhaust leak every time. The guys at the local muffler shop actually suggested that trick to me several years back... It's worked like a charm every time since. Plus it is a good test to use when you are shopping for a new car. Shaddy salesmen can put cheap patches on mufflers and turn them upside down so the hole is not visable. Put your hand over the tail pipe and any cheap fixes or patches will be blown off! Anyway, I usually have my mig out at this point so i use my leather welding gloves to plug the muffler... Just don't plug it for long periods of time or you'll cause enough back pressure to create more problems than you started with!!! Have fun!
