after fixing exhaust leak which was wastgate not fully on...
After i fixed my wastegate and put a new gasket on because it wasnt fully tightened. Anyways my car was quieter before I fixed it now it is loud as ****. I have a open dumptube but could that be the reason? it sounds like an exhaust leak even huger but that makes no sense cause I jsut fied the only exhaust leak. I currently have a stock GSR exhaust bolted up. My car also smokes a hella lot when I hit boost. If you didnt guess already I have a integra gsr 1999 with a drag kit on it. Im running a FMU and a Missing link right now until i get money for a ecu chipped and injectors + tuning. If anyone could guess why this is happenning it would be a big help. Thanx

What color is the smoke and at what rpm do you begin to hear the "exhaust leak"?

right when i step on the pedal even in nutral. And also a **** load of smoke comes out like arround 6000 rpms on full load. I cant figure it out. It was fine before the shop and all they did was replace the gasket and i saw them do it and now its super loud. if you need a video I can make one.
