Default exhaust leak

i need help on a exhaust leak. i tighted the h pipe to the muffler all the way. i tightened the h pipe to the header all the way and i just replace the exhaust manifold gasket and tightened all the header bolts and it still makes a noise.i was wondering since when i hcanged the exhaust manifold gasket could there still be any left on the heads that maybe i didnt get off? i really need to know because this sound is really annoying.

Default RE: exhaust leak

Have you figured out exactly where the leak is coming from?

I would used Steel Band clampsfor tighteing pipe connections. They are more reliable and less likely to have leaks.
