All that RF passing through his leg - the RF must've thought he was a DUMMY load.

Yo I guess noone else noticed he said his exaust is grounded....WTF???

There's nothing wrong with grounding the exhaust. In fact, it's fairly common for RFI to be produced by the vibrations of the tail pipe, so people ground them to get it out of the radio's receive. Think of it like a trombone or something. Hams ground the tail pipes all the time, too.

Typical exhaust system is somewhere near a resonant length on the upper end of HF, and it's isolated from ground by gaskets and rubber hanger liners. One of the ONLY things this guy seems to have done right is grounding that exhaust! I usually install at least two bond straps on exhaust systems; one near the front and one near the rear. If it has a lot of extra turns and such, I may add one to the middle. Can't hurt; might help.

It can't hurt to ground the exhaust system.
