Default exhaust leaking from somewhere

on the passenger side where all the egr tubes, actuators and stuff is i have a decent exhaust leak. now ive tried tightening the downpipe and made sure all my exhaust man bolts were tight. no change. it sounds like its coming from the black rubber hoses but i have no idea. ive been searching for months.

look on the underside of the rubber hoses for cracks or the tube that connects to the back of the heads or the tube that runs down to the cats

tube from cat connects up to one of the two hoses that go to the TAB and TAD valves.......one of the hoses goes to the tube for the heads, the other one connects to the tube that goes to cat

Don't know if this will help, but I had an exhaust leak sound coming from the same area. It ended up being a cracked header(damn MAC headers).
