Seems to be. Still an exhaust leak I cant track down. Thats McAlester, btw. Oklahomas such an underrated state for camping IMO.

I took a cruise in the woods for father's day today. The first several shots are on the side of a mountain where I usually go deer hunting in the fall. I got a nice Mule deer buck about 1/2 mile straight uphill from where these pics were taken.
Thunderstorms and heavy rain made for fun in the mud puddles. I gotta say, I just installed new KYB whites on the rear, and GR-2's up front. I couldn't be happier with the way the bus handles the potholes and ruts.
End of the road. Tight spot to turn around, too.
I couldn't resist the opportunity for an articulation test.
Rear bumper is just touching the ground. The front bumper did the same on the approach.
Three wheelin'!
Grouse Creek is really flowing right now. This is on the way out of the woods. Civilization is just around the corner.
Just another relaxing cruise in a bus. It was fun driving fast through the mud and drifting the bus around corners.

So you have no clue where the exhaust is leaking? Have you laid under it while it's running? Used the hose to the ear method? I would suspect f pipe to exhaust port. One or your copper gaskets may not be sealing up.

The images show one of the benefits to using a stock exhaust system.
My extractor and quiet single would be Ghandi.
