I've had a leak there before so it was suspect. When I fired it up the second time I just put my hand down there and could feel the hot exhaust coming out.
Here's some pics.

I'll share this in case anyone else may have had the same problem.
The first time I had an exhaust leak where the Y pipe bolts to the Exhaust Manifold it was because the pipes that pipes that extend thru the flange on the Y pipe were almost 3/16 in, in spots where the gaskets are maybe 1/8 in thick so no matter how tight I got it it still leaked. I solved it by doubling up on the gaskets.
This time around I ground down the pipe to maybe 1/16 inch proud of the flange. Enough to position the gaskets but still allow them to seal.
