if you got the ram horns check to see if the noses/exhaust ,is coming from the part where the cast iron meets the pipe,theres a ''doenut'' a ring of asbestoes like material that sits in there as a gasket, you should be able to hear the leak while you under the hood playing w/ the throddle,,if its a exhaust leak,,you say passengers seat so it also could be where the pipes bolt toghter.look for carbon,marks or also lay on the ground while its idling to see if you can narrow it down
