actually found out the culprit. hah. it was my middle pipe hanger rubbing aginst part of the frame. guess when i installed my header, it kinda pushed my whole pipes back a little and the hanger was rubbing. but it's fine now.no more noises. and header/flex pipe seems to be still in good condition as well.

Hey everyone, so I just installed a whole new exhaust on my k24, and there is this weird higher-pitched semi-whining sound that seems like its coming from the headers? Its hard to describe, but it kinda sounds like its extra air movement maybe but all the joints in the system seem fine and theres nothing coming out anywhere. Anyone else ever experienced anything similar? I'll try and record it tomorrow.

The system is a OBX 2 piece in to a magnaflow highflow cat, in to a greddy evo sp2

Is this on a K24?  It's an OBX header?  Have you listened to all the flanges with a mechanic's stethoscope yet?

Weren't there some people talking about how their DC ceramic headers were making a whistling sound? Maybe it depends on how your OBX headers were made that's causing that noise.

The guy that put my exhaust on said it might be because of the flex pipe that isn't on the oem headers? like maybe there's a slight break-in period, but hes not sure...

So, it's coming from where the header bolts to the head?

They must not know what they're talking about, because there is a flex pipe on the OEM exhaust.  It's just not part of the exhaust manifold, but it's in the same place as most aftermarket headers use.

Or maybe it was something about the pipe being in a different location or something...I'm not sure where the sound is coming from, but one of my coworkers suggested just getting a paper tube and trying to listen with that to see if there are any air leaks. I'll try that tonight.
