ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining exhaust backpressure in which a bore is created in the wall of a manifold, pipe, muffler, of the like which is in fluid communication with an exhaust port of an internal combustion engine. A pressure-indicating device of the type having an elongate probe is inserted through the bore in unsealed and unthreaded relation therewith. After reading the backpressure indicated by the device, the probe is withdrawn and a plug is frictionally engaged with the bore thereby sealing against exhaust leakage.
