exhaust leak>???

[olymaster]

i just got home and half way threw the trip i started hearing a loud pumping sound. like piff piff piff piff the faster the faster the piff. in my garage it coming from right side of engine but nothing on heads intake or where the headers bolt to heads.
kinda feel like its coming from where the headers bolt to the stock h pipe
what does this sound like and how the hell can i fix it them darn bolts already as tight as i can make em

well i cooled down and started looking
im missing a bolt in my bbk ceramic shorty header on the drivers side 3 bolt from the front
and the 2nd was half way out
does exhaust come out the bolt hole
if i go get another bolt and put it in should fix it right?
how tight do i tighten the headers bolts?

yeah put another bolf on there and that will fix it. they have to be very tight so what you can do is tight every single bolt just to make sure they arent getting loose or anything

 

[olymaster]

yea i tightened em all
all were lose
per sey

just a tip for everybody, looking for an exhaust leak? take two old tshirts, rags, whatever and stuff in the tailpipes, this adds backpressure, and the leak will be alot more visible, you can usually find a pinhole with this method. hope it helps.

ok i got them bolts installed but still got the piff piff piff piff sound. so it didnt fix it
now im clueless
