Default exhaust leak wont stop

I have a leak in my exhaust that wont stop. it's between the manifold and my headers. at first it was in the top middle. now its in the front. and another problem is that it feels like my engine is missing. my timing is right, almost everything is new seeing as how i just got the thing rebuilt and i wanted to be sure that everything was copasetic. i got a comp cam and i got it bored 60 over but i feel no power change. HELP

copper rtv wont hold up there for long. Use a good sealing gasket and locking nuts / bolts.
