Maybe.
Start your car, have a friend stand over the engine bay while you cover the tailpipe with a piece of cardboard. If you've got an exhaust leak, this is the quickest way to find it, because you'll HEAR it.

actually, with my catbak, i get the drone at 3krpms when decelerating.
when i checked for leaks, i had the car on jack stands. and with a peice of paper or light weight thing, move it along the exhaust and see if it moves by the air leaking. also, u can hear it or feel it with your finger, but dont burn yourself.
