Header.Exhaust.Noise.Problem.
Ok. I just got my Kamikaze header about a week ago and just now started noticing this problem. When I am driving and lets say I take second gear up to 40 mph then let off the gas, my ehaust gose weeeeeeeeee......po....po....weeeee. Kind of like a backfire but not nearly as loud. It feels like theres an air pocket or something. Does anyone know what this is?

Not sure what kind of noises those are. Almost might be a leak somewhere from not tightening everything. Did you install a new gasket when you put the header on?

prolly just a lil extra fuel going through the exhaust and burning off, i have a long tube header with no cat and it rumbles a lil when its winding down. when vtec kicks off it may lurch a lil and pop throught the exhaust too. if you ever heard any type of race car with an open exhaust ud probably hear alot more of that type of sound. i wouldnt worry about it, its common
