Is my engine blown?
Everyone in my local group seems to think it's an exhaust leak coming from my header. It sound worst to me what do you think. Let me know.

hard to tell.
get someone to block the tail pipes while idling and listen at the front for whether the sound changes |

Mods include full exhaust. 1320 header and over pipe j2 front pipe and a greddy cat back. An nx plate kit running a 75 shot from 4500 to 7000 rpm

hmm, burnt valves perhaps...

In my opinion, that's definitely an exhaust leak. Coming from just dealing with a major internal engine failure that isn't what mine sounded like. Actually given your mod list, it's hard to say. Either way, from the video I'm hearing an exhaust leak.

That sounds like you have a cracked header or a blown exhaust gasket. possibly your header is loose, tighten bolts and check for cracks by jacking up vehicle start it and feel for warm air or do it the easy way and start vehicle and squirt it down with soapy water.... good luck

Sounds like exhaust leak, especially the burble after the throttle blip.
Most surefire way to know? Jack 'er up and make sure its stable. Let the car idle, and get underneath after you take off the underpanel. Look/feel for leaks near header/overpipe/midpipe joints. Also check any welds where pipes merge in the header. If that is indeed a leak, its so bad I imagine Hellen Keller could find it |
