So despite my bad joke, im losing a war to an exhaust leak. I sealed up where the header meets the xpipe. And theres no fumes coming out. I tightened all the header bolts and still it sounds like an exhaust leak.. could it just be the header noise? and if so.. how can i stop that?

heres a video of the exhaust so maybe you can hear the leak.... its dark so dont mind the picture, just the sound haha

I didnt hear a leak any place . are you dumping at the axle? If you dont like that sound inside the car run some pipes out the back . I my self dont like the drone of dumps inside the car even with turn downs

the pipes are coming out the back, maybe im crazy haha, the car had an exhaust leak when I first started restoring, so maybe I'm listening way to closely haha

Have a buddy with a long enough arm span cap off both pipes while you listen. If you have a leak it'll pronounce itself very quickly. If you don't, the pressure will build up and push your buddies hands off.
