i got my egr delete plate and nut (that caps off the headers) yesterday...i put them on and started driving...after about 5 miles i noticed what sound like and exhaust leak everytime i took off....i figured it was my headers that were loose so this morning i went to tighten the bolts and all were still tight...i had to plug one vacuum line last night when i deleted the egr....any suggestions???

Check the bolts at the ball and socket connections, did you get the gears in yet?

turn car on and feel around your headers feel for a slight tapping( exhuast leaking).Watch out theyre hot.

When the hood is up, rev motor, is it loud or quiet? listen on both sides.

ok....i looked around again after i let it cool down then started it back up...i leaned way over the motor trying to feel for the slightest air flow and looking for little vacuum lines...guess what i found on the back of the intake....the pvc line was unplugged(out of the hole)....
