Default Exhaust leak

Is there any way to test where a leak is coming from. I know the leak is there because it is insanely loud. Also, I believe it is coming from one of the exhaust tubes right before the collector. These are the xs stainless headers. At first I thought it was a gasket but I have tried new ones and made sure the y-pipe was on there good and still I have the leak. I have been trying to get a hold of black2002ws6 for the past several days with no luck. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks for your help.

throw it up on a lift, start the car and spry the exhaust with water and wait for the bubbles to come out.

You don't have a set of headers that you blocked the EGR Tube on do you? I had the blocked off EGR tube break off my stainless headers right before the tube met the primary exaust. It raise hell before it finally cracked all the way off. Something you might want to check.

Sorry I got your PM and set it aside to see what I can do for you then got busy on other things and forgot about it. I apologize for not getting right back to you. Shoot me another PM and we can discuss you issue.

Thanks
