How can you tell if you have an exhaust leak

I knew I was gonna have an exhaust leak when I was missing the bolts leading to open catalytic converter and downpipe also causing my car to sound like a complete utter ricer. But in general, exhaust will smell different sometimes smell may even lead into the car & black smoke will be heavier than normal and smoke may be in other areas where it's not suppose to be. Car will run slightly differently as well that is my opinion on a exhaust leak but keep in mind pending where the leak may be & how big will depend on the symptoms. I have (2) 5 second sound clips on my phone with one having the bolts and one not having bolts connecting the two together both are cold starts.

I got the HFP suspension for 760 shipped,my dealer warranties accessories from honda for the life of my warranty,the car is so different and isn't looking like a lift kit any more,plus I have my suspension on eBay now for 250.00 and have 5 watchers so that will cut into the costs.it was worth it,I didn't want coil overs,didn't want anything real harsh.i waited for a fair price and got it so I'm good
