There are several exhaust gaskets that could be the culprit. Where the headers attach to the front pipes there are two metal gaskets (44022AA200). Where the front tubes connect to the catalytic converter there are two fiber gaskets (44022PA021). Where the catalytic converter connects to the center pipe there is one gasket (44022PA031). Where the center pipe connects to the muffler there is one gasket (44022PA000).
If it is cold where you are, you should be able to look underneath the car when you first start it and see where the exhaust is blowing out.
