Exhaust leak..Please HELP!!

I installed the Hooker Cat Back yesterday and took it out for a spin. No leaks at all. As I was returning from my 30 minute spin I heard a leak.

Checking it this morning it is not coming from the Cat Back, but I popped the hood and definetly hear it. Therefore, I think it is a leak in my exhaust manifold or at the fitting that ties into the Y pipe. Also, my "Service Engine soon" light came on. Dame!!!!

Thoughts on what else it could be???? If it is at the exhaust manifold I think it would be a good time to do the Hooker Headers. Thoughts???

Thanks

try to loosen up the 3 bolts where the manifold meets the y-pipe and re-tighten them. I had the same problem. Make sure the 3 bolts are tightened equally.

Found it

I found the leak.

It turns out it was a vac hose came loose. I simply placed it back on and problem solved. Now the :Service Engine soon" light came on when the hose came off. Will it reset itself after awhile since I solved the problem? Or, am I going to have to have it reset?
