Default Exhaust Manifold & Uppipe gaskets- How to check for leaks?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to know how to check my exhaust manifold and upipes gaskets for leaks. Its in a V3 Type R.

Do the gaskets normally leak if there is no bottom guard and water gets on the manifolds all the time?

Thanks.

Get someone to bung/block the exhaust up with the car running, and on a ramp or axle stands, get underneath and check for blowing (be careful, headers get v hot).
