I'm wondering the same thing... I got Borla S and kooks headers and whenever i barely accelerate i feel like i hear air pressured our under me. Maybe that's how it's supposed to sound but with everyone talking about leaking gaskets it got me wondering.

I'd think you'd be able to see residue on the manifold.

A leaking head gasket will run like poo poo. You'll be losing coolent for one and you'd defintely know it. A header gaskets will make a ticking sound at idle and will get louder as you rev it.
