Exhaust Squeal

Just a swing in the dark. I have read of these symptoms being a loose spark plug squealing on cold startup. Anyone been in that area lately?

Since I can isolate and stop the squeal by putting pressure on the exhaust, I don't think it would have anything to do with the spark plugs.

Johnny, if you can stop it by putting pressure on the tailpipe then simply take the car to a welder, add that same pressure you are talking about, and get him to do small welds around the connecting pipes at the same time you are pressing on it. That should be enough to retain the tension.

A temp fix yes but maybe you'll be lucky and it will last eternally!
