Exhaust Leak?


Hey can anyone tell me if this is an exhaust leak or not? I can hear something different about my idle but I can't pinpoint it. Just wondering what it sounds like to a trained ear. Thanks!

Cold Start:

All I hear is a little girgling and some crappy audio. Mine did it all the time with downshifts when I put an x pipe on it. I don't hear anything wrong.

Sounds fine to me, you should be eable to spot and exhaust leak on a cold day like that if you get down and look at your pipes or you could just run your hand by them but i think your fine

Ok thanks guys im replacing everything headers back soon anyway so it wont be an issue. I have also been wondering if i have a cam....it kinda lopes when it gets warmed up, and my mechanic's friend who owns two foxes says it might be an e-cam....but it has stock heads he thinks. Does it sound anything more than stock? I plan on doing an h/c/i swap next year anyway but being a teenager im still wondering haha

Sounds fine. Stock cam.

Do you have the air pump hooked up to the exhaust?

I don't know, and I don't have the car right now so I can't check. Should it be? And Why?
