exhaust leak

After working 3 days straight and counting some 20 somethiing odd cuts on one arm alone. I have finally manage to install a set of headers, ORP, and catback onto my car. The problem now is that I have an exhaust leak and I don't know how the find it. It's too loud to isolate by hearing and I've already burned myslef from trying to feel for it. Doesn't anyone know any tricks for this?

Also, my car is too loud now. Aside from ditching my new catback, is there something I can do to quiet it down?

All help is appreciated.

What cat-back? Maybe try a bullet muffler in the I-Pipe.

use a long rubber tube or hose, hold one end to your ear and use the other end to probe around the header mating surfaces you'll hear the leak.
