Default Exhaust leak in Hemi, not the "tick"

Hey guys, I have an 04 Hemi with 50k on it. It has the Hemi ticks, which basically sound like an engine with 200k on it, but now it has developed an exhaust leak on the pass. side. When the truck is cold, or when I start it after being off for atleast 15 minutes you can hear it for about 3 minutes then it gets to where you can hardly hear it. I was told these trucks don't have exhaust gaskets so does anyone have any idea what I should do?

I am going to go check the Y-connector right now.

Thanks,

Chris

only place there is a gasket is at the head where the manifold bolts on. get some soapy water and start your truck then spray the soapy water where ever there is a joint/weld (y-pipe,o2 bungs, ends of the cats, etc..)and around the manifold where they meet the head. if the water starts to bubble you found your leak
