Default Possible exhaust leak?

I'm thinking I have a header leak again. I'm not getting the typical ticking sound, but when you accelerate at low rpms I can hear this kinda swooshing sound or an airy sound. I seems like it is coming from around underneath my feet or so. Do you think the drivers side header is leaking from the manifold or something else? The sound is usually the most noticeable when its colder out. Any help would be appreciated.

so its nothing bad or anything, just an annoying sound? I figured if the header was actually leaking it would be making that loud *** ticking sound.
