Default Exhaust leak fixed...more power now

Had a leak at theheader to midpipe connection b/c it was at a slight angle where they connect. That gurgling, ticking noise is gone and the exhaust sounds so much smoother. Plus, i gained back some lost power. I floored it in first and it wound up to 5500 rpms so much quicker. I thought this would cure my idle dipping to 500rpms on warm/hot startups but it didn't.

Sorry I can't post exhaust clips b/c I get on here from work and don't currently have a PC at home. I defiantley will make a post when I cure this problem with starting at op temp. My only guesses are O2 sensors, ACT (Air Charge Temp), maybe something fuel related.
