Default Exhaust Leak

I am pretty sure I have an exhaust leak. At least that's what it sounds like. How would I go about checking to see where it is at? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

U can try to have someone hold a piece of cardboard, plywood or rags blocking the tailpipes for a sec while you are looking for leaks, it will put more pressure in the pipe, and make the leak a lot easier to find!

If it's aheader leak wait till the car is cold and as soon as you start the car go to the engine bay and feel for the leak... If it's in the pipes lift the car while it's running feel around the joints.. If you feel air you've found it
