Possible Exhaust Leak?
Dunno if I am being paranoid, but I am wondering if I am developing an exhaust leak. Under acceleration, and more so when going up a hill, I think I am hearing more noise than I should. No noise at idle, or when revving engine while parked. Kind of a chugging noise, not super loud but it is there and I had not noticed it until recently. Seems like it started once the weather got cold around here.
Head gaskets were done about 13k miles ago.

And you can do a SeaFoam induction treatment (outdoors!) and the smoke will come out the leaks as well, sometimes the spot is in a place you can't see (back of a pipe, etc.). Will also kill skeeterz within 100 feet. Does not hurt truck, but people think it is blowing up. Makes a lot of smoke for a few minutes.
Just took a quick look underneath, looks like where the y pipe connects to the exhaust manifold on the passenger side is missing two nuts! I guess somehow they worked themselves loose. That would appear to be the obvious spot for the leak.
