Sorry to answer a question with a question, but what makes you think you have one?
Anyway, it could be a ragged exhaust note, uneven idle, low rpm surging, lots of decel popping and popping between shifts.
Check to see if the flange nuts are tight. If so, with the motor warmed and idling up try blowing cigar smoke or hold an incense stick at the flange and see if it gets blown around.

Look at the head where the pipe connects, it may be black or rub if it is black to see if there is any soot.
I use a piece of toilet paper on a long pliers. a small piece is all you need. If it is leaking the paper will move from the air.
