Heres a suggestion. Get a large rag and start the engine. Before the tailpipe gets too hot, wad the rag up and seal the end of the tailpipe with it. Do you feel pressure? When you remove the rag does the pent up gas pop out with a rush? Or is there no sensation of pressure at all? If not then theres a hole in your exhaust system somewhere.

This is a quick and dirty way to test the exhaust system for leaks in general.
