Default Exhaust Leak Help

Ever since doing the lt's and ory I've been chasing a leak. 4th set of clamps on it now. Now using stainless band clamps with gasket maker around the slip connectors first.

I'm thinking it might be in some of the welds.

So is there a way to pressurize the exhaust with low psi compressed air and not cause any damage to the engine?

Or am I retarded and there's an easier way?

As always thanks for the help fellas!

Just take it to an exhaust shop man, they'll weld up a fix and shouldn't cost a lot..

No shop around me will touch it without cats. They refuse to even put it on the lift. Lol

Those are some pretty silly shops, try to see if you can make a deal with them, sort of "under the table" no receipt or paperwork? I understand to remove a cat, but to work on a car that already has them removed sounds pretty dumb..
