Default Need some help, please.

Hey, I need someone with some automotive knowledge and tools (I have some - like ramps) to help me diagnose/find an exhaust leak and or tighten bolts on my header flanges and exhaust. I have been hearing a what I believe is an exhaust leak - sewing machine noise when on, ticking/knocking when turned off.....Im in the Palm Beach Gardens area and would greatly appreciate it. Id like to somehow compensate the person....lunch+beer? Thanks guys!
