buy yourself a 1/2 drive torque wrench and torque the exhaust manifold to spec do the same for the downpipe

Are you sure its exaust? Could it maybe be the air control valve relieving? There is an approx 1 inch dia black hose coming out of it, and the other end is under the r/h fender/bumper. Those of us who have not lost a lot of their hearing might be able to hear that air control valve exaust sound. Then again it could be the exaust.
