Yep, zero noise.

It's just as quiet as my GMPP manifold was. Check for any sealing issues. Did you re-tighten all the bolts after a few heat cycles?

Is RiceCop still selling the bad mab header? I went on his site and they aren't there. I'm really wanting to get this header for that price. If anyone knows any info please let me know or if RiceCop can chime in or pm me.
