exhaust leak?
 
I have the Invidia exhaust. I keep thinking I have leak because it doesn't sound right when idle. It sound good when the car is moving. I can pinpoint the noise is coming out from the flex section. I can feel air coming out from the flex section. Is it normal to have air come out of the flex section of the exhaust? One side is more than the other too.

NO air is supposed to come out of anywhere besides the tips

Yep. Unbolt it, slather a bunch of red RTV on it, tighten it down halfway. Let it sit a while. Come back and tighten it down all the way.

Well if its coming FROM the flex pipe... He needs new flex pipes or to weld a straight pipe

If it's coming from the flex, true. You should be able to see soot where the leak is.
