Default HELP-Terrible Exhaust Problem.

Guys, I really need to accurate help ASAP. After the mechanic had my car for nearly a week, it's still leaking. Its a very loud squeeling cound coming from somewhere near either header or the back of the block. It likes to do it when deceleration after a rev. My Ford mechanic thinks it gaskets and my exhaust guys thinks its something to do with the egr tube and the mechanic who installed thinks its a bad header. WTF

does it sound louder from the top of the motor or under the car?

Could be the exhaust manifold (header) gasket. Is there anyway we could get a clip of this sound?

Do you have longtubes or shorty headers on your car? It may be leaking at the collector.
