OK guys. I have a auto 03 GT with 53000. I received my bassani catback and put it on. It sounded great, no noise. I received the bassani catted x pipe the next day and put it on. I am now hearing a sound like a bad belt turning like a hiss tick or like a jackhammer going off (not as loud obviously) It only does it when accelerating though. If i rev up in park the exhaust sounds great. I kinda noticed the noise before but its like after the x pipe it like amplified the noise X10. When I accelerate and it shifts in to overdrive it sound especially bad there, when the rpms drop and i continue to accelerates it sound like an old car like its bogging down or something.

Could it be a leak? Wouldnt it make the noise revving in park if it was a leak?

Help please!
 
You may want to check the headers to x pipe connection. I know that they use the paper gasket on the driver side. That is probably where the noise is coming from. Does it sound like a tick, tick, tick?
