loud exhaust noise

What would cause the exhaust noise to start to sound like a open header is being run. Any ideas on this thanks

Most likely an exhaust leak at the header.

Would it be leaking due to a bad flange gasket?

Or the header is cracked. If it's the original, more then likely it's cast iron
