Also,

I get this weird noise in the front that sounds like a tractor , flutter noise.
Nothing is leaking, i got it triple checked at my garage guy.

Could i maybe need a bigger gasket for the header?

Also would the raspy go away once I go turbo?
Check the water outlet on the driver side and make sure the header is not rubbing there. My Fa20 4-1 rubbed the shite out of that aluminum fitting that one of the primaries runs right on top of.

As for rasp, don't waste your time with anything other than a Q300 or some other suitcase muffler, or a turbo.... front and mid pipe make very little difference when running a catless header. I went down that road already and tried several combinations of front pipes and cat backs. Only thing that tamed the rasp was a Q300 catback. A turbo will tame it as well.
