Nope, not normal. It may be that the exhaust is coming back over the
boot but you should check everything else first. If you've had the head
off, then the exhaust manifold may be leaking or the little doughnut
between the manifold and the pipe. Try to block the exhaust outlet of
the Monzas with tennis balls are something. It should either kill the
motor or it'll fight you. If you start hearing a whistling sound, you've
found your exhaust leak.
All of my exhaust leak problems were under the bonnet -- not the
tailpipe.

Sure, right.
