It is making a weird noise and it seems to be coming from the back of the header on the passenger side...every time I give it gas or let off the gas it makes a weird almost clunking, rattling type noise...It is not in the engine, it is exhaust related...I am not positive if it is a header gasket or not, I hope it isn't because the passenger side is a b!tch to get to...help me please....

Is the noise there at a steady speed? If you only notice it when you're getting into/out of the throttle, I'd say your exhaust is contacting the body somewhere. I'd check your entire exhaust for clearance before turning a wrench on it. I say that because I've seen cases where the vibration was in a different place than the noise. I've got a periodic vibration after my Hooker catback install and the noise moves around quite a bit. Hope this helps

actually turns out that it was the collector bolts. the bolts that connect the y pipe to the headers, they actually started to back themselves out and it made the car literally sound like the worst thing I have ever heard...but all is better now
