Default Exhaust Leak

Okay seeing as how my plans for LTs and a Prochamber are shot, i was wondering how i can fix my exhaust leak with out new exhuast? the car already has full Mac exhaust shorties, H pipe and catback... leak sounds like its coming form the headers in teh front of the car, could it be where hte headers and H pipe meet needs to be tightnend up? or will new exhuast be my only solution?

Check your header bolts that go into your heads. I was ignorant and foolish and never checked mine for months and then one day I notcied some valvetrain noise and it was coming from the exhuast port on my headscause my fricken header bolts fell out.
