Massive exhaust leak..
Massive exhaust leak.. I was out with some frnds yest n we came to a stop and there were a caddy cts and a new Lexus we raced and i spanked them both 
then we came to another stop and there my car sounds like a truck also today i noticed 500 RPM at idle when coming to a stop is that normal for a leaky exhaust? and is there anyway to locate the leak without getting the headers out? am pretty sure its the freaking 3 bolts flanges of the Y pipe..they suck! but i havent really check am too freaking tired am also using oem gm gasket...how about welding Y pipe to headers? or using some different type clamps? thanks 
heres how my 3 bolt Y pipe flanges look like..
sorry for the crappy pics its from my phone and under car pics.

Come on; it was a little funny.
EDIT- Not your situation, but what he said about the welds. It made me chuckle. I agree though- lay under the car and have someone rev it a little for you.
