Default Exhaust leak?

Hard to explain noises and my digicam dosent pick it up. From underneath the car i can hear (when below 3500 rpm) a flittering, weak, choppy, airy sound. Ive never heard it up until a month and a half, 2 months ago. Im thinking its the header flange? Gasket? Hole in exhaust? Resonator? And my cars exhaust piping clicks when i turn the car off. I know what this is, but i never seem to hear any of my buddies' cars do it. Anything you can come up with just let me know, thanks

1. most likely your gasket
2. my car makes the same sound after a hard run. a few of my friends cars do it to. none of us are running a cat either.

I have the same problem! I just installed my brand new RS*R exMag exhaust and every time I drive for a while I hear the same noise! It obviously has to do with the rise in temperature of either my midpiping or cat. I have yet to jack my car up and actually take a look. But I suppose it's normal.
