Noise after Longtube installed??!!! Just installed my LG Pros lastnight and they sound like they will eat your soul!!! but anyway I also hear a squeeking sound, does anyone know what this could be. Is it the lifters I am hearing now or is it something else that is pretty normal or is something wrong with my exhaust. I am almost sure that it is coming from the engine bay. And it's a really fast squeek like something is moving almost. The faster the engine revs the faster the squeeks become.
Did you do anything to the valvetrain? If not, there have been a few posts about the LGs not sealing properly. They've always fit fantastic, so I wonder if Borla had a bad run recently.
X2 if you didnt do anything to the valvetrain and the only thing you changed is headers then you are just worrying yourself, take a piece of rubber hose, prefer to use a stethescope with metal tip removed for this but either way is fine, stick hose in your ear and go around every primary, primary flange, and collector, if its a leak it you will hear the air sound blow into your ear very clearly. This trick has worked many many times for me and others. This helped a guy the other day on some Kooks headers, if it makes you feel better he had brand new kooks that had a leak at the primary where they missed a weld.
^^Good advice. I'd search for exhaust leaks as described above!

Well, the longtubes are supposed to make a different sound. On a more serious note check the torque on your bolts and maybe check belt tensioner, it could have become dirty. Or it could be something completely unrelated to the longtubes.
