Abstract
A system and method are provided for testing and verification of an exhaust system. The system and method introduce a low pressure flow of gas into the exhaust system through an adaptor that fits into or about an exhaust pipe of the exhaust system. The low pressure gas can then be used, in the absence of engine noise, heat, and/or dangerous exhaust gases, to determine if one or more leaks exist in the exhaust system.
