Did you get all the old gasket off and put on a new one?
Did you tighten the bolts/nuts properly?
Do you know exactly from where the sound is coming?
Set it at idle and listen and FEEL around for the exhaust leak
-- feel around before the engine warms up or feel for the puff
of exhaust gases.
If the noise is that loud and not coming from the
exhaust system, don't worry it. The engine will destroy itself
within minutes anyway.
