Question Exhaust Leak???

It started like a week ago. When im cruising and giving it a bit a gas its fine but when i let off it sounds like the car is farting. Its really faint and can only be heard if you are trying to hear it. I can feel it under my feet. Thats the best way i can describe it, is it sounds like the car is farting under me. Is my exhaust leaking? or what is it? I don't know what an exhaust leak sounds like but i assumed thats what it was because of where its coming from.

It can sound like that when the leak is close to the engine. Check the head to exhaust manifold bolts, and the exhaust manifold to cat bolts.

IMO, just wait. You don't want to get burned out with working on your car before the headers arive.
