Default annoying exhaust leak

I have a exhaust leak somewhere and i can't seem to figure out where it is coming from. it comes into the car when the windows are down when i am driving down the road. I had the exhaust checked out and they couldn't find a leak.wondering if it could be my head gasket. It doesn't overheat and there is no water in the oil. any help would be appreciated thanks

You need to take a bionic ear and check from motor compartment to exhaust tip.

A screw driver will work just as well. If your smelling fumes in the cabin and that shop found nothing, I would take it elsewhere.

It might be a donut gasket at one of the flanges

Does the car burn oil? Are you running a cat?

If its lowered u might have some pin holes in ur cats. U can barely see them. Just hang on to the bottom of ur car and let someone drive u down the freeway.

Jack the car up and look at all the flanges on the exhaust, if you see any black soot around or on any of them or on the piping you have found the leak. If you can't find anything that way, just have someone rev the engine with you under the car and see if anything is obvious. Also, feel around the flanges to see if gas is leaking out.
