i just installed my MAC prochamber, and i have to say, the installation was well worth it. it sounds amazing, and im feeling a little bit more power. but how do i know that everything is sealed perfect? i didnt use the NAPA 600-1819 bolts. how would i be able to tell if its leaking?

What I did was jack up my car real high and crawled underneath while my dad gave the car some gas and brought the revs up.

While I was underneath I would put my hand around the connections and feel for escaping air, which I did find. This probably isn't the best method but it worked for me.

Another way to tell is to drive with the windows down, cruise at 1500 RPM in 4th gear, then mash the gas. If it's leaking, you'll hear it.

My H pipe is leaking slightly at the welded "H" on each of the pipes and where the two pipes meet and clamped with a exhaust clamp. I can tell they're leaking because they have black exhaust coming out of them. Cant hear it, it sounds AWESOME, I love it. So I'm leaving it. One day I'll get a ProChamber. Mac stuff isn't too bad in my opinion

one way it to jack the car up, put a decent amout of hand soap and a little water on where you think the leak may be. Start it up and if its leaking bubbles will begin to form where the soap is.
