So I just installed a pypes x-pipe on my 98 GT. After the install I hear an exhaust leak sound coming from the passenger side only when driving. I did replace the passenger side flange gasket at the header so that shouldnt be the problem. Ive jacked it up and adjusted 3 times and cannot find the problem.
Im wondering if this is just how the pypes x-pipe sounds?? Anyone have this x-pipe? Please let me know your experiences with it!
Any advice would be great!

Yes I am running without cats. I knew it would be a bit raspy but it honestly does not sound good. On a side note, does king of the P-heads mean you are well versed in the PI swap?

Might try putting it back up in the air so you can get to the exhaust with it running,and check for leaks.

If you stick around long enough you will learn that @Noobz347 likes to help you remember goofy things you say by making it your ct lol

Sadly I only have minimal mod motor experiences
