Default Wierd noise after installing header

I just installed a Megan Header on my 03' AP1 and I hear a noise when i rev the car...but it only makes the noise when the RPMs are dropping after i rev it...the noise is something like an exhaust leak , but i smoke tested the whole exhaust system and no leaks were found ... could it be the header making back pressure or something?

it could just be the sound of the header. i had a similar sound in my supra with my header installed, but the car is also gutted entirely under the dashboard. my s2k however does not make any noises with my berk header but that could also be because all i hear is my berk titanium exhaust
