Subject:      Exhaust questions
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I have an exhaust leak.  In trying to find it, I found that my muffler is
not supported like I would like it to be.  The brackets that used to be on
my exhaust pipes (where they connect to the rear two cylinders) have
broken/rusted off and my muffler is not getting supported very well.

In my frustration in taking the exhaust system off and then putting it
back on, I talked myself into getting a whole new exhaust system, or at
least part of one.  When putting my exhaust back on, I put on new gaskets,
but still have a small leak somewhere. Any thoughts on this?  Will a new
exhaust system solve both my support issues and help cure my exhaust leak?

Also, my heads have studs on all the exhaust outlets except one.  should I
put a stud there too?  If so, how do I install a stud?

thanks,
Blake
