Without pressure, you'll need to seal up the holes in the pipes to test with water. You could use silicon, but that's getting into some effort.

It looks pretty open to me. The black on the upper pipe here shows tell tale signs of an exhaust leak. If they were welded edges instead of flared without the evidence of a leak, I'd look at the chamber walls. But the consistent layer of soot on the outer wall of the resonator- even over the edges of the chamber walls looks like air can pass.

Edit: I edited your pic to show what I think looks like a leak would anywhere else:
