Default What are the sympthomes of an exhaust leek?? Help

I think my exhaust is leeking. It doesn't sound as before, it's much lounder but not deeper. When i press the throttle, and kick it, I hear a strange noise, it's like air wistling. Weired!!! Also the car doesn't pulls as stronger as before. What you guys think?
Thanks.

Ps. Have anyone experienced this with the brullen
Exhaust ??

Default that's exaclty right........

It's sound so close to a go cart. Then you think it's an exhaust leak or something else?

Default It very well may be that

I had a few exhaust leaks on my Honda due to broken exhaust manifolds. Everytime it made my car sound like a go-cart. The sounds became less noticeable the more I drive because the metal expanded and made the leak smaller. Take it to an exhaust shop, and should be able to tell you immediately.
