I installed a Topspeed Headers like 2 weeks ago, and ever since that thing installed on my car, whenever i give gas on every single gear(normal accellerating) my car will sound like a lawn mover or a gold cart (well thats wat its sound like to me). its getting very annoying now, but im not sure whats causing it, maybe leak gasket?? etc...??? Please Help thanks

Did you use those fabric/fuzzy looking gaskets that came with the headers? If you did, id switch back to the metal crush type gaskets asap.

lets see, It's been doing this ever since you installed headers. Were there any holes in the headers? no wait maybe it's a gasket leak
