What An Exhaust Leak May Sound Like

In this video I give a great example of what an exhaust leak may sound like. The example was taken from my 04 Ford Ranger. It recently developed and exhaust leak just to the front of the flex pipe of the exhaust. It began to make a "spuddering / blump blump blump" type noise. In this video I show where this leak is and I also give audio of the leak so that you can have an example of what it sounds like.

While exhaust leaks can sound similar to the audio taken in the video exhaust leaks may differ in they way they sound. This is just one way it may sound if you have an exhaust leak.

Note: In no way am I guaranteeing that you have an exhaust leak if your vehicle sounds similar to the vehicle in the video. This is meant to only be an example of just one way and exhaust leak can sound. There are other factors to consider when diagnosing an exhaust leak. This video is not a complete guide to diagnosing exhaust leaks.

⚠️ Always use caution when working around exhaust systems. They can reach temperatures in excess of 300 Degrees F and can cause serious burns. Be sure the exhaust is totally cool before touching. Use caution when working under your vehicle. Be sure your vehicle is in park with the parking brake on and wheels chocked before getting underneath your vehicle. If your vehicle must be lifted be sure it is lifted properly using a repair manual and your owners manual. Properly lifting and securing vehicle not shown in video or explained in description. ⚠️
