Just got done re-tightening the bolts....they were extremely loose. One was literally just hanging off the thread stud waiting to fall off.

I torqued the header bolts to 22 ft./lbs and did about 34 ft./lb for the header to overpipe connection.

The sound is gone and the smell is too...

My only concern is that is the bolts on the header ( the 3 on each side) come loose too easily with the given torque specs. I'll have to keep and eye and ear out to see if the sound changes again and also keep track of my logs.
