Exhaust leak type noise I have noticed at idle, there is an exhaust leak type "chatter" coming from the engine area, but it does not get worse when accelerating,
any ideas on what might be the issue ??
pulley ?? belt ??

header gaskets!
try tightening the header bolts. if it still makes noise then you need new gaskets. check your bandclamps as well on the exhaust. those get loose a lot and you can see carbon buildup where they're leaking.

i had a pretty decent chatter a while back and it took me forever to realize it was just the pcv valve. grab the pcv valve when you hear the chatter if its the pcv you will feel it
