Name that sound...

75% of the time I put the clutch in between gear shifts I get a weird scratching/airy sound coming from the engine bay. I've retightened my headers the best I could and the mid-pipe. I also ran seafoam yesterday (3rd time and still kicks a$$ :nice: ) and couldn't see any smoke in the engine bay or underneath the car. I have the h-pipe sealed up pretty well with high temp RTV too. The car has 32000 miles and I don't drive it hard. Could it maybe be rattling from the locking header bolts or somekind of loose part? it didn't do it until I had the headers bolted up a few months back but now I'm starting to wonder if it's something other than a leak...if anyone has had this happen and you have a fix let me know.

Well, I did some research and I'm thinking maybe it's that tube that bolts to the header (EGR???) is leaking on the driver side...I think it's probably a leak but why didn't seam foam leak out when I ran the car?
