Exhaust Smell Leak Solved with Homemade Smoke Machine

I created this smoke machine and just put the outlet up the tailpipe with a bunch of rags. After less than a minute..............I found my problem or problem(s) which is what I am sharing.
As I looked under the car with a flashlight for easier smoke identification, I found every single one of my lap band 3" exhaust pipe connectors had small leaks where the bolts are used.

SOLUTION: I am taking this to an exhaust shop to have all my connections TIG Welded.
