header noise

[nick_sixx]

hey guys my headers recently started making noises almost like a 'gurgling'. it almost sounds like there is fluid sort of bubbling away at the bottom. i have a hard time hearing it outside the cabin so im having trouble trying to find it standing at the engine bay playing with the throttle wire. any ideas?

sounds like a leak, check the flange where it bolts onto the exhaust/cat.
are they two piece headers?

[nick_sixx]

yeah 2 piece headers. i will check all the nuts tomorrow. should i just use head gasket sealer if it is a leak?

[Dems]

yeah and check that it has a metal gasket between them. seen them installed with out it before..

i fixed the problem, one of the nuts had a crack in it and wasnt sealing properly. all good now (ps i went for a drive with an open header, so cool haha)
