Exhaust Leak?

[AnthonyA1234]

I could have sworn I always noticed hearing the exhaust farther up then I should after installing headers on my 2019 Tahoe, also the exhaust smells very rich, this could just be because of my new high flow cats on the aftermarket exhaust however. After checking I noticed the headers seem like they aren’t connecting flush to the Y pipe. I also notice some black powder on the connection. Does this look like a leak?
