Exhaust leak?
Does it sound like my headers are leaking at the block or is it just me being paranoid? Maybe it's just engine noise is more noticable with lt's but in low gear around 2k sounds like alot of pulsating noise while driving. Can u tell anything from the vid?

Does this sound normal to you guys?

Hard to tell in a vid, i've found the easiest way to find a exhaust leak, use smoke

Start the car, get a source of smoke, as simple as a cigarette or a machine made for this procedure. Hold the source up to the exhaust system at the areas prone to leaks and watch for the smoke to blow around.:thumbs:
Goggle it there's YouTube vids if it's hard to visualize |

From the video, I would say no...
Do you hear anything while on the highway with a constant RPM? |

I don't hear anything abnormal. Did you just install the headers? You will hear more internal engine noise than stock with headers.

Sounds normal to me. An exhaust leak will be most noticeable when the engine is cold (before the metal heats and expands) and will make a ticking noise, like a lifter. Putting a rag in the exhaust pipes is one way to find and exhaust leak. Be careful, of course. Here is an article on exhaust leaks: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article...haust-manifold
