Ok... so i bought some headers for my 97 accord they fit and everything nice and snug but when i started my car it was really loud and sounded like i had an exhaust leak somewhere, but the performance was there when i took it down the street. Well all and all i didnt like the sound because it took my car away from the nice low roar to a loud *** lawn mower sound [:@] so i decided to put my factory headers back on then when i started the car again it sounded the same. Is it just a messed up gasket or am i just so frustrated that i missed somthing while installing it back in.......please help ......also whats a good deep sounding header

 

Probably a gasket.

 

What brand are your headers
