Default Header Question

For all off u who have an aftermarket header, Have you ever heard an echo coming from the header. I have a Greedy header and from 2k to 2.5k it makes a rattle noise and then its goes away, I been under the car and nothing is lose so i cant figure it out, I thought it was coming from my heads but its not. Its coming from the header, i need help. Thanks Alex

hmm... i hear something when i first start my car up kinda sounds like an odd rattle. i know mines tight, but it makes this weird exhaust note. not sure about when i'm driving it though. i do get some odd noises but nothing that i've really been concerned about.

edit: also why i'm going back to stock headers with an uppipe. now i just need to find an uppipe.

i have some high temp ceramic coating. you just need a spray gun and a sand blaster. you can get them form a harbor freight for cheap. you can have what i have left, which is more than enough to do a header. thatcoating is really nice and easy to do.
