Exhaust leaks will usually sound like a ticking. Is it a ticking or ratling sound you hear? If it is a ratling sound it is probably ping which usually sounds like it's coming from under the dash. If it is a tick it's probably an exhaust leak.

Are the gaskets black or anywhere around them black? Mine did the same thing, and that's how I could tell - plus the ticking noise.
