    After I installed my LCE header, when the exhaust gets hot and I'm just idling, I can hear a squeak coming from the header. Anyone else had this problem? Solutions? Thanks

    On the stock header, there is a bracket that bolts from the engine block to the base of the collector tube. I think this is what keeps the stock header from squeaking. However this bracket does not fasten to the LCE header collector tube. I'm pretty sure this is what is causing the problem. I'm hoping someone knows of a way to prevent this squeak.
