How do you do it ?
She's throaty and loud,
I don't want to start throwing parts until I know for sure.

Put the car in the air, start the engine, and inspect the entire exhaust. If you're lowered it's probably the flex pipes on the y-pipe. Otherwise check flanges.
If you can't get the car in the air, lay on the ground and listen while a second person raises the rpms slightly.

Found the culprit. Y pipe rusting out apparently is very common.
Under the middle heat shield is steel wool spacer that eventually rubbed a hole.
Exhaust tape, and Exhaust sealant and sheet metal works until I find another Y pipe.
Problem solved.

I use a cheap halloween fog machine and tape it to the exhaust pipe and tape up the other tailpipe exit.
Let it run for 5 minutes and look where the smoke is blowing out from. Very very effective.

Thats a genius method!
I don't have a fog machine. If I did I'd be throwing parties.
Maybe light a joint and tell my buddy to keep blowing smoke in the exhaust.
Also heard a shop vac and soapy water works too.
In the end it was super easy to find by sound and feel (air movement) alone.

All I do it point people in what I think might be the correct direction. If you fixed your vehicle then it's because YOU did the troubleshooting and repairs.

It took 18 years of aggressive parenting, 5 years of strict apprenticeship, and a couple more years of figuring things out on my own before I was finally not the ******* of my youth. Then a couple more decades for it too really sink that my strength is inspiring others to greatness, not achieving my own greatness which is limited at best.
