there was a crack in the manifold. I just replaced it with a new one and it stopped. be sure to do your motor mounts too becuase thats normally the cause of them cracking because the motor can move too much.

I like the lights. I have to do something similar and have been debating going to round lights too. My tires rub the header panel lol.

I think yours would look awesome with the circle lights, especially with your bumper. But yea I plan on getting flat panels welded in after I move my battery somewhere and make a cowl intake. But I'm probably only going to run 35s or 36s so I **** wont hit as much
