Default Puttering after LT install

It started about a week after puttin the Hooker Lts in. It sounds like its comming from the engine compartment. I think its an exhaust leak, cause it is alwys there, but more noticable when i accelerate. How can i check to see where it is comming from? Also, if i want to go with a true dual system, how much would it cost to get the most RWHP out of a true dual system.

If it's an exhaust leak, you'll see some blackened area around where it's leaking. Also, exhaust leaks generally get quieter as your engine warms up due to the metal expanding.

The same thing happened to me when I did my Hookers but it turned out my #8 plug was loose, causing air to escape everytime that cylinder fired. It made a really loud ticking noise.

If you changed your plugs, I'd check this.

Mine did this same thing, my plug wires kept coming off, I finally just got new plug wires and plugs, and it fixed the problem.
