What does a leaking exhaust manifold sound like?

you can get gasket material from places like coventry's (in perth, do you guys have coventry's in the east???) and its about $20 a sheet and is rated to something like 400 degrees. all you do is trace around the old gasket and bobs your uncle,a bit of gasket goo and your done. with the leftover sheet you can make about 20 more gaskets just in case you dont get it right or want to do the rest of the exhaust. I did this on my turbo and never had a prob.

Pulled it apart today and found that the exhaust manifold gasket split completely on cylinder 6. Note to everyone: Make sure you tighten the exhaust manifold bolts in the correct order. I didn't cos I was impatient, and I creased the gasket. It is not fun having to take the turbo and manifold off again and change the gasket because I saved 10 minutes the first time.
