    NOise

    I noticed on the freeway going about 75 in 5th gear in the upper right of my engine I hear a sort of squeak noise randomly almost like a mouse it happens randomly. Anyone have any ideas, only thing I can think of is exhaust leak at header and midpipe. I have off road x pipe steeda cat back.
