So I just installed my JTR shorty header for my 2005 3.5. While taking off the old exhaist manifold, I noticed that either the dealership that changed my head years back or from the factory that 4 of the 9 bolts that hold the header on were broken off. Now I never had any issues, so I decided to go ahead with the install anyway. So, after everything was tightened up and finished I started her up and no exhaust leaks and I thought I was good to go.
I did noticed as I was installing the header that the gaskets I used appeared to not fit in place when I let them hang on the new studs that I decided to switch to. As I was driving down the street I floored it to see what kind of gains I would feel and I heard what sounded something like a horn noise. I doesn't sound like an exhaust leak in any way. It reminds me of when you hold a piece of paper on two ends and try blowing down the thin side to get it to whistle/make a noise.
So my questions is, could this noise be the gasket hanging in the flow of the exhaust. Only when I gun it does it make that loud shrill horn noise.
