Default S&S Headers

I've just installed my s&s headers. I have a gargling noise that happens when accelerating. Im guessing there's a leak. What are my options on fixing that?

That noise might be the gaskets that came with the headers. Hopefully they didnt crack already since they WILL crack. I want the headers for the gains but dont want to deal with the cracking. What happened to the headers from JPI? Post some pics of your ride. It would be nice to see new members with hooked up 430's

Yep post some pics

S&S headers do leave a little to be desired in quality but more then makes up for it with grunt.

Use a new set of OEM metal gaskets, not the gaskets that come supplied with them.
Very likely a leak which will eventually trigger code 430 I believe.

Thanks! I will post pictures soon as the car is ready to be shown. I've done quite a few mods that I will share soon.
