There are several ways...

1) simply feel around the pipe... not touching it.

2) put a few drops of oil on the pipe near the flange and watch the smoke.

3) use a cig - get it started and put it around the pipe and watch the smoke.

4) cool inspection mirror, hot exhaust leak... condensation on the mirror.

There are likely many others.  The point is the leak will be push out air that you can detect.

I'm about to put my exhaust pipes back on my 800 drifter and just wondering what's the best way to test for leaks where the exhast joins to engine other than putting my hands aroud the Hot pipes...lol
