It could be an exhaust leak. The sound should not change that much if at all because you put on a DC header on a f22 with no exhaust. Recheck all of your nuts and bolts make sure the gaskets are good also

 

make sure its not comming form ur muffler , stock mufflers will sound weird when u put a header on sometime, get someone to set in it and rev it up and see where the sound is comming from.... It make be the stock muffler
