+1 Definitely sounds like it. I heard if you ride around with a leak like that from your heads to the headers it can fuck up the ports or valves? Idk some mierda

You Sir have a bad/blown exhaust header gasket!

Go pick up a set of these. Napa/Carquest or vic hubbards has them.

First thing I would do id go old school and get a hose and try to find exactly where the hell the noise is coming from. Exhaust gaskets pretty straight forward to diagnose. Second I would pull the plug wire for each cylinder and see if the noise drops off or goes away. This will help you diagnose the particular cylinder that could have the issue if it is something mechanical etc..

Agreed
Thank you guys I appreciate that. I don't know everything so I'm learning and trying to diagnose what you can't see or hear is difficulty for almost everybody so the videos do help. Both videos I've posted have been diagnosed with maybe 2-3 responses all because you could see it and hear it. If svt wants to be a dick because I need help then so be it.
