Did you un-torque the old header-to-block bolts in the proper sequence and
torque the new header on in the correct sequence and using the correct
torque spec, and then recheck the torque a second time? If not, the leak
could be coming from between the block and the header.
Otherwise, double check the EGR, AIV, and O2 sensor fittings. Also the
primary and secondary connections. Gotta be one of those. If you are lucky
enough to have compressed air available, try and rig something so you can
pressurize the exhaust manifold so you can hear the leak without the motor
on.
