Does this mid length header idle sound normal to you?
Eurocharged mids on my car, been driving it for ~2k miles. But I have this ticking at idle, as I start accelerating it sounds normal. But if I really get on it, I head an audible tick after half throttle load and ~2k rpm.
The sound clip is recorded with my phone, it gets more noticeable towards the end. It's of my car after a 20 minute drive to work, idling in the parking lot.
You might need headphones or louder speakers to analyze it.
Let me know what you think.

Tightened the driver side all the nuts were tighter than a virgin
Gonna get in on the passenger side and do the same... but I'm afraid it might not be a leak at the end of the day

I may have said this on your other thread, I put mine in the air started it and felt around the pipe. and you can actually feel it leaking. Mine was leaking at some of my crappy welds. And at the gasket

I already tighetened the collectors and verified there's no leak there or the welds. If it's leaking it will be at the heads at this point.
