Default annoying exhaust leak????

i have an exhaust leak, it sounds like it is coming from where my header meets my x pipe, but I tightened the two bolts and it is still leaking and is getting on my last nerve. Has anyone had the same problem or come up with a solution for it?? Oh yeah it is the on the passenger side. PLEASE HELP!!!!
