yes, almost resembles a leak unless you know. Drove me crazy thinking I did at first. I may have to just bite the bullet and get a louder muffler, dont want to be embarrassed by people thinking my truck is a POS!
Would exhaust wrap on certain turns and/or collectors reduce this at all?

I would NOT wrap them with anything.

In case you're all still looking for the headers.... 290 shipped from the original place.
Theyre just really hard to find on ebay lol. For whatever reason you can't find it in search.

i could only use one of the good band clamps 
the passenger side of the y-pipe has a brace about 1/2"-1" in the way of a band clamp & wouldn't give me room to bolt it all up. i just ended up having to use one of the supplied U-clamps. it's still holding fine, though

Has anyone experienced sewing machine sounds, or a swarm of angry bees, or however you classify the sound of exhaust gases rushing thru the long tube headers? I have the stock GM muffler and no leaks, also verified by exhaust shop, no leaks. At idle I don't hear the noise, revving in park I dont hear it, but if I am driving with the windows down and say accelerating from a stop light I hear this sound, like rushing exhaust gases or noises being transmitted thru the tubes. Is there any way to limit this or eliminate it or is it just part of having long tube headers?
