Depends on how big it is.
Do you know if its after or beforethe o2's?
Jack it up in the morning, one side really high. Start it up when its cold and quickly run your hands all up and down the pipes, starting at the collectors. It won;t get to hot to touch for a couple minutes, it'll take ya about 45 seconds to check all the piping from both collectors back to the muffler. Thats how I found mine.
