Default I don't know what it is....

i just installed my headers on saturday, and now when i get to about 3k rpms i hear a tapping going on. I don't know if its the lifters exactly but at 3k rpms in 2nd gear i always hear it. I tried reving it at idle and i revved the **** outta it but i didn't hear anything at all.

you probrally have an exhaust leak, it can sound like many differnt things. re torque the header bolts as they WILL loosen up from time to time. also make nut sure they wre rubbing anything.

headers can help amplify a lifter issue.
