creaking noise
So I had a friend install kooks headers, x pipes, mid pipes, and a new intake manifold on my 2001 corvette. After a weekend of driving the car monday morning i heard a pretty bad creaking / rattling nose coming from the front right side of the car, only when I turned to the left around 11mph or faster, never happens when i turn right. Still today rattles and creaks when turning left but also usually when I accelerate and sometimes when im idle it creaks every once in a while. He didn't have to take off my tires or mess with the suspension, but he did have to jack up the engine to get the headers on. Anyone else had something similar like this happen. Already looked around the tires they arn't rubbing on anything.

So after jacking up the car and having a look. The right side header where the weld came together to one pipe was bumping against the metal plate next to it. So had to grind off some of the edge of the metal plate so it wouldn't grind. After the test drive it didn't do it anymore.
