Possible cracked oem header?
Hey guys,
Any perpensity for the hr headers to crack? I've recently noticed a "new" sound that kinda sounds like a waste gate noise. Most noticeable between 2k and 3k rpm.
Only started hearing it a few days after I had my clutch and flywheel changed. It's not the transmission rattle. I have that sound between 1-1.5k.
The car has motordyne test pipes and an aftermarket exhaust. Had it on the lift at a local shop and they listened with a stethoscope and say there are no leaks on the exhaust and test pipes. They say they can't heck the headers.
I only really hear the sound inside the cabin. Not on idle when im outside the car.

Have someone sit in the car and rev while you pinpoint the sound.
Never heard of HR headers cracking but maybe the test pipes could of caused it.
That is why I am scared of putting HFC or TP on my car with the Nismo exhaust since I heard they tend to crack.

Yeah the noise comes and goes. I notice it less and less. Might be a hiss from the tp's, but I only noticed it after the clutch.
Will check the bolts for tightness just in case.
It seems to only do it after spirited driving. By the time I've slowed down, pull onto a ramp or let her idle to listen for the noise it's gone. In fact, I haven't heard it now for about 3 days.
