So working on the Jeep this weekend I noticed that after I was letting the thing warm up and took a look under, there was black water (carbon) leaking from the connection between the header portion of the exhaust pipe and the muffler portion. Also, I noticed a small hole where more was slightly dripping out right on the front flat part of the muffler. Put my hand up there and I could feel the air leak. darn thing looks like someone took a liottle metal punch and put a round hole in it. Going to put some JB Weld on that to seal it. But I'm guessing a new gasket for the connectgion won't do it.. it almost seems like they are coming together at a slight "V". New muffler I suppose. Now to decide if I go stock or something cool. Probably a good Idea to get it replaced before I have to do emissions. |

hole in muffler is to let water vapor out |

ah ok, well it does that good. I'd expect the hole to be closer to the bottom. I haven't done anything with it yet, but was sold the wrong gasket for the connection so I need to take that back. |

That hold is normal, the hold is meant to let vapor condensation drip out, don't plug that hold with JB weld! |
