Exhaust leak

Exhaust leak
The muffler fell of my 1997 4.6 at 138,000. The exhaust pipe fractured through just in front of the muffler. I spliced in an adaptor piece with clamps and everything was fine. Now it is getting noisy again but not at the repair. The noise goes away after it warms up. I haven't been able to find the leak but I suspect it is at the manifold to the head. Does anyone know of this problem and what is the cause and what is the fix?
