put you foot over the back of the exhaust and get someone to look underneath and pinpoint it, when youve found a rough location you could also use spit or fairy liquid to see what bubbles apear and from where to find it more accuratly. :)

well find the rough area, dribble some fairly liquid mixed with water over it and you might see some pretty bubbles, of if its a bad leak its just spit it right off lol. :) you can usually feel an exhaust leak by hand just from the pressure escaping.
