Manifold+Hotside+O2 Housing=Noise?
I just went thru an install of my helix O2 housing and Maford Header from here...

I also added a 10.5 Hotside from Vishnu...

10.5 Turbine Housing
OK, here is my question.
Should there be any different sound from the tubular manifold or the hot side or the o2 pipe? I thiunk I have an exhaust leak at the joint between the o2 pipe and the down pipe. But, I just wanted to see if I should expect some different sound after these parts are on. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Are there any good ways to check for exhaust leak? I think there's a slight leak somewhere (02 to DPor manifold) but don't know how to detect it. During cold start-up I can hear tapping\ringing noise like something is leaking. How does one go about detecting an exhaust leak??
I was thinking the same thing when I installed the new manifold/02 housing. Alot louder than stock, but I tightened everything down again and found no leaks. Just thinner walls on the parts that lets more sound out.
