Noises are coming from the area where my exhaust manifold and oipe meets. Most of the noises are coming from the manifold when i press the gas. what could be the main problem? It makes somewhat of a hog noise

Hi there, if there is an exhaust leak at the flange, replace the gasket, and inspect the manifold for cracking and black exhaust staining around the manifold gasket for a leak there as well.
