Exhaust Shop/Manifold Leak?

[Montana Cruiser]

Anyone know of a good independent muffler/exhaust shop in the Portland, ME area? I am having a hell of a time tracking down an audible exhaust leak. I have used an old piece of garden hose to try and isolate it, but have only been able to narrow it down to the lower part of the engine bay. I THINK I have elminated the exhaust manifold, but I cant be sure. My old 60 had the famous leaky manifold, does the 1-FZE have a similar issue as the old 2F? Thanks in advance!



Oh yeah, finally stepped up and got me a silver star, I likes.

Your leak is in the Y pipe at the joint on the inside! Very Very common. I took my pipe down and had it welded. This pipe includes the front cat so replacing it is very costly. Where in Maine are you? I'm just south of the border in MA on I95. Could take a look at it for ya if you would like.

Landtank - I'm in South Portland to be exact, would love to hook up sometime. I noticed you are in Boston and I have been meaning to PM you. I still need to do my Birfs and rumor has it you might be a good guy to talk to about it? Yikes, I was afraid someone was going to mention Cats, very interested in having you take a look!

I use Boston as a reference point for others for a rough approximation to where I am. I actually live in Groveland MA which is only about 30 minutes from the NH/ME border. You are little over an hours drive from me I think, might check mapquest. I work some crazy schedule and can be most anywhere in the US at any given time but am home on the weekends. We should get together.
