People With Headers, Need Help??

hey people,
well i have a concern, after you guys installed your headers did any of you experince any type of noise coming form the are of where the headers are. Im not talking about exhaust note, or any noise coming form the tip area. But did any one get any type of noise form adding headers, such as a tickig. Or after doing the headers did it sound exactly the same as before in the wheel well are where the manifolds use to be?


Plz help me out,

Daniel

I would pass on the dynatechs and go with a set of pacesetters, (coated) matched custom exhaust, have your truck tuned so what you have is working together and take your wife out to dinner with the money you saved and performance you gained

I added short headers. Not worth the $$$. I did notice the noise at startup, it sounded like an exhaust leak in pass wheel well. Normal I guess.
