I check around the headers and number 5 was leaking bad. The header bolt was very loose. I was using copper gaskets and stainless header bolts. I am getting ready to put it away for the winter and I am going to send the headers and pipes off for cermamic coatings. So I can put better bolts and seal the sidepipe joint with some exhaust rtv.

Leaking headers/pipes will cause your "crackling" noise when getting off the gas,almost sounds like a back fire......as for your headerrs bolts, I use ARP bolts and after you run it a few times re-tighten them down, after 3 or 4 times, they stay put........
