Exhaust Leak

[platinum01]

Have been hearing air blowing out when driving down the road. Sounds like an exhaust leak, coming out of manifold gasket. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what kind of gaskets did you run afterwords? Can't pinpoint were it is coming from. I hear it on the drivers side when I am running down the road and it is making me crazy.
Thanks for the help.

Look for soot at the joints.

check the up pipes. had to fix mine a few times. also, fixed a few friends. they leak up top by the y connector on the back of the turbo. only one of then was i able to see the leak. of course, once we had everything apart, was able to see it real well. just a suggestion.

Are you runnin an aftermarket intake that will cause the same noise and like they said check for soot thats a sure sign of a leak.

No aftermaket intake. Just running the 6637 airfilter from NAPA. But I can hear it blowing out. Will have to check. Rain started coming back in. Tomorrow I'll give it a look.
