So I put a all new exhaust on and I'm pretty sure I had a minor minor exhaust leak by the driver side header collector to pipe. But recently I ordered all new tires and took it to the exhaust shop right after and had my mufflers welded on and down pipes. Well waiting on my tires and having a long irritating day I did a burn out in front if my house and there's a alley way along my fence I went side ways down it and there were some deep rivits with a bit if muddy water and was going to fast to stop so off I went well she bogged down and I git her to the house and the exhaust pipe a bit after the headers have cuppling well one of the pipes popped off and I took her back to the shop and had then do it all up and was hopin it was that well nope same thing but it's not bogged down I just have really louding tapping so I took off the upper intake and valve covers yesterday checked the rods and retorqied the rockers and put it all back together and same thing. I know leaks around the O2 sensors can throw off the computer and afr when I start her up with no throttle she jumps up to 2k-2.5k for a few seconds then goes back down to about normal idle. When I get home I'mma run a shop vac and soapy water to check but what do y'all think

Start with the basics... pull codes, tune up, stuff like that.

I’d also get familiar with doing things like tightening your exhaust. You’ll go broke on a old mustang otherwise
