Hi All,
I recently reinstalled my old stock exhaust. On the left side it is much louder than the right. I took off the header, changed the gasket, put a few new bolts in, tightened everything down and it still has this sound. I cannot pinpoint where it is coming from though.

I used a handheld digital recorder to get an up close recording of what I mean.
Is this the normal sound or do I have something amiss? I also felt around and couldn't detect any escaping gasses. The recording was doing just in front of the left rear tire, but from underneath.
