Listen for pings or pops. Put your open hand near BUT NOT TO NEAR, the places your clamps are. If you feel air or pulsing, you have a leak.
Also, make sure you don't over tighten your clamps. That will deform the tubing and cause leaks.

We don't check for exhaust leak unless we hear it leaking.
If you have a nice welder, go ahead, install your flowmaster, and listen to it...you would know if it's leaking.

there is nothing to "look" for. you will hear an exhaust leak. its a tinging or pinging sound.
