 But, be careful not to burn yourself on the pipes.
 ===== Smoke Test =====
 When oil is added to the combustion chamber, the result is smoke coming out of the exhaust. \\

 The smoke should just come out the ends of the mufflers. \\
 If smoke is coming out anywhere else, that's where your leak is. \\

 Once the muffler baffles are drilled, it can easily be detected that you have 'tampered' with them. \\

 This was done with a 3/4" hole saw on a 10" drill extension. ((AsSeenOnTV http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1392884)) \\
 |If exhaust is installed, make sure the set screw in the extension is tight so you don't drop the hole saw inside it. ((photos by bboerst31 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=792768))  ||

+====== Exhaust Bracket Mods ======
+Exhaust brackets can be fabricated to fit just about any configuration needed. \\
+(especially when using aftermarket pipes) \\
+Mount the pipes to the heads with proper torque. \\ Allow them to **gently** sit on their own. \\
+This allows for vertical and horizontal measurements to be taken from the point where the mount mates to the pipes. \\
+Below is the bracket that comes with the purchase of a set of Thunderheaders. \\
+This particular bracket was slightly too low and recessed to fit on a 98 1250. \\
+(it may have been fine for stock 1200 heads) \\
+The plate on the bracket was cut into and another plate was welded to it to extend the mounting holes. \\
+With the extra plate simply welded on top of the original one, the height worked out as well. \\
