    After doing a motor swap i now have a exhaust leak that wont go away! i replaced the manifold gaskets and the exhust ring gaskets and it still leaks some where under the hood. I tighten the bolts down as tight as i can and it didnt leak before the motor swap so i dont know whats causeing it any ideas?

    its really loud as well as the cab gets fumes in it

    A leak that big & loud shouldn't be that hard to find, did you make sure all gasket surfaces are free of old gasket material? And when you tighten down ANY of the bolts holding your exhaust system together, tighten them a little at a time to ensure equal surface sealing ( especially those donut pieces of shit that I think all cars & trucks have) torque to specs. If none of this helps you need to check your exhaust all the way to the catalytic convertors, maybe damaged some of the exhaust tubing or connections during motor swap... good luck...:cool:
