Suspecting exhaust leak... What is the easiest way of detecting it? Should I seafoam and watch the
smoke? Any ideas?
Btw. my milltek clamps are rusting very rapidly, does anyone know a place where I can get stainless steel ones?

The exhaust it indeed stainless, but the clamps are all reddish brown right know....
hence the assumption that they're not stainless... I'll take pictures whenever I can. Any info on the leak detection and source for new clamps would be very welcome. 
Right now I think I'd have gone with Borla or APR, if I knew I'd have this many problems.

Thanks. I wonder if stainless borla clamps would help if there's a leak at one of the joints...
Any ideas from milltek owners?<ul><li><a href="http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp?part=BOR-18005">stainless borla clamps</a></li></ul>

Don't know where you're located, but...
NE Ohio's Federated auto parts sells stainless clamps in all diameters for like 10 bux. I had to do one for my mom's S40 a little while back.
