Seems strange mate. It might be worth backing the exhaust header pipe bolts off and retightening evenly to ensure good seating.

Thanks to you all for the shirts, greatly appreciated.

If there's exhaust gas coming out there must be a leak. Try re-tightening it. If that doesn't work it might be easier to just go ahead and get new gaskets.

Agreed ... you have a small exhaust leak. It's probably very small if it took you that long to notice it but you should point it out to the dealer who did the work.
