So I finaly changed my oil today (was about 2500 miles over due, I know I was lazy), and thought just for the hell of it id check my header bolts. Well before my exaust would pop a couple times when I let off the gas. So anyway, a couple on the driver side needed about a 1/4 turn, but the passenger side was a whole different story. 4 of the 6 bolts were almost finger loose!!! Wow. Well I got them all tightened and took her for a drive and no more "pop pop", and she runs so much more smooth. I thought she ran good before, but wow what a difference it makes getting rid of that exaust leak.

Re: header bolts
When I first installed my headers, I'd be going in there every morning to tighten them. Some would always be loose. I'll have to check them pretty soon. -
