So I've had an open pipe that terminated under the back seat on my '52 Mainline since I got it and I just installed dual exhaust and a pair of Brockman Mellowtones. It sounds great but now I can hear every rattle and clang. There's a tapping sound that's louder on the driver's side that I never noticed before.

I tried to capture the sound I'm hearing in this video:

It's louder on cold startup but it's always there. Any advice?

Sounds a lot like an exhaust leak. Header to block?
