Exhaust Leak i think...pics inside

Well judging by looking at it i would say it is a leak in my exhaust unless it is dripping from somewhere else. The leak is the dark spot circled in yellow in each picture

Can anyone determine what is going on here?

Thanks to Chris Curtis for hosting this on his site along with my sound clips of the magnaflow muffler.

No...the pipe is not glowing. Sorry for the confusion. I didnt know if the flash would give me enough light for the picture, therefore i set up 2 flashlights beaming towards the leak and that glow is coming from them.

cant really see much in the pictures, but if you have an exhaust leak there will be black sooty streaks coming from it -

Have you checked the pinion seal on the rear end? That very easily (and commonly) could be leaking from the front of your rear end and getting thrown around by the u-joint in your driveshaft. I've seen it happen a hundred times, and usually that's what the I-pipe looks like when the liquid is thrown.

Just a thought,

Kyle

cover your tailpipe(s) with cardboard or something. if you have a leak, you will hear a high-pitched whistling noise.
