Check the whole exhaust system while it is running. Maybe you can spot the leak. I had a bad leak when I first installed my header. It sounded like a Model T.

well unfortunatly i found out what it was last night while driving down the highway. i have a pacesetter header with that shitty design that looks like a ball at the end and apparently the bolts decided to let go on it going down the highway at 120km/h

ouch!!!!

those kinds of ball and socket flanges (thats what the type you have is called) need lock washers and have to be checked after its allowed to expand and contract for a bit to make sure its still seated and what not...
