Well uppipe leaks sound more like a high pitched chirp. Leaks after the turbo, including the rear 02 sensor, sound more like a helicopter. I'd check the downpipe, but really check everything.

sounds like you might have a front 02 sensor leak, or it's the EGT probe leak.

leaking at the probe or sensor will give you a flapping sound, where if you had leaks between the flanges, it'll sound more like a whistle.
