First it sounds like the headers are not installed then the values sound like they are very loose

It only has open headers on it right now. the driver side header runs right into a piece of the body sticking out and it makes that annoying noise. Im still working out the kinks. That was the first start, but it does run really good. That video is recorded from a cell phone so the sound quality is really bad.

Found the noise. The torque converter was hitting the flex plate cover. The cover had a huge dent in it.
