It sounds like it happens when you're hitting the gas so maybe look around the throttle body or cable or even the gas pedal where it mounts. It sure is an annoying sound though!

Well, I think I found it.

Decided to open up the cutout (it sounds better and spools better) and on a whim, tossed some hose over the brake lines where they dive behind the brake booster. IDK if its in my head, but squeak is gone.

Other than that, 76mm whistle is zamazings.

Calm down sir, I never said it wasn't the gasket leaking. I was trying every option I could before pulling the header off. Two hours of misery so didn't wanna do that for nothing.

After many a curse word, new header gasket in, all stud/nuts tightened down, and still makes the noise.

I give up.

Did you check to see if it was straight? or if the turbo pipes are pulling it off the head maybe?

Flange was not perfect but more than good enough. I bolted header to head and let it sit then attached crossover to it so I am fairly confident thats not causing any issues.

Back to square one.

Would have been good if that guy in the vid showed if it made that noise just on the initial turn. Hmm...
