Have you recently taken them off? How do you know its an exhaust leak? Leaks before the 02 sensors (front) will make the car run rich as hell. It least that is what i was told. How long until you get some headers?

I would say its not an exhaust leak, and more like engine issues. Does it make a taping noise at idle, or is it louder on cold startup or after it warms up?
