Header noise?

I just installed a badmab header on my ss/sc, its all sealed up but not there is a different noise under acceleration. It almost sounds like an exhaust leak but its not...if that makes sense? Is this supposed to happen? Is there anyway to silence this? I dont wanna use header wrap cuz i dont wanna damage the header

My Mab-Fab did/does the same thing. No signs of a leak anywhere, new gaskets, proper tightening sequence, etc. But it still sounds like a leak. I have searched for black soot and found none. No fumes either. I think its just that the engine noise is more audible in the lighter steel header, versus the heavy OEM cast manifold.

Don't know what that could be. Mine just does the typical exhaust "ticking" sound.

solid tranny mounts are fail when compared to better alternatives that don't cost too much more all things considered

the header flange is prob warped and needs to be made a flat surface common occurrance with ca header
