Exhaust leak..... One of your manifold bolts probably sheared off due to Different expansion rates between your aluminum heads and cast iron manifolds.... Very common....

If the bolt is broken off below the surface of the head it'll be a serious pain in the butt. Check the bolts before you start taking stuff apart..... I'll bet it's one, or both of the bolts on #7....
