i just installed a brand new pacesetter headers last sunday...started the engine and checked for leaks...so far so good..but there's this raspy, buzzy sound when you rev the engine :confused: ..then the following morning i started the engine and after 10 mins. of use, the check engine light comes on...i read somewhere that it must have benn caused by the burning oil & paint from the headers so i reset the ecu and it was gone...used it for a couple of miles... then minutes after my second start, there it is again!!! so what do you guys think?? should i replace my oxygen sensor?? or just keep resetting the damn ecu 'til it quits..TIA!!! :)

The buzzy sound is a leak. Check your ECU to see what code you're popping.
