You've got a exhaust leak, most likely the manifold is cracked.

Get a flashlight and start looking for a crack.

take a rubber tube and stick it to your ear with the car running move the other end around where you think the leak(s) are.

Those are not cheap. I doubt anyone wants to spend near 100$ on a smoke machine just to see where the exhaust leak is coming from. Stethoscope works well and is cheap. Or do what i said and use a rubber tube.
