Header leak or intake leak? *video*
Does a intake sound like a header leak at all? This damn leak is driving me insane now, it sounds like its coming from the passenger side or intake area. I replaced the header gasket twice already. First time with the GM gasket and then with a Remflex gasket and the sound is still there, I'm starting to think that my intake is cracked or something. Yet the car idles and runs fine so I guess that rules out the intake?
I am almost 100% sure the passenger side isn't leaking any air, could the sound just be echoing from the driver side? I also thought the header might be broken/cracking from the bottom so I slid my phone under the header flanges to make sure they weren't broken and leaking from there and they looks good. My next step would just be pulling the header(s) out and seeing for myself and ether getting them fixed or getting a new set (Pacesetters due to budget). Would hate to do this and then turn out the intake was just cracked and is passing some air...

That sounds like a header leak. I would think a leaky intake would cause a vacuum leak and the car would run like ****. Are you running cheap headers? You might have a broken weld around the primary.

I agree.

Even if I fix the eBay ones I have on right now, I don't want to deal with this deal again. Maybe I'll just sell them for cheap to someone who has a welder and welding skills.
