A header leak and an Intake leak are two different thing with two different problems. A header leak will cause an exhaust sounding leak. An intake leak would cause the vehicle to run like crap. It will miss, It will be sluggish, poor fuel economy. If it was a header leak it usually will not run bad, it will just sound loud. With that beings said, a header leak could cause you too suck in cold air and burn a valve. That too could cause the same issues as I have written above. With out knowing what the issues are, and not being able to hear what the vehicle is doing it would be really hard to diagnose the problem. I sure hope this helps. Good luck with it.

Well an intake leak you will have a poor idle or no idle at all, A header leak can lower performance but more than likely it will be just annoying to listen to.

the header leak would only make more noise but the intake leak would effect engine vacuum and could in turn effect the vacuum modulator. that would effect your shift points.

A header leak would just make the exhaust sound louder, wouldnt effect the performance really..... an Intake leak would cause the car to stall, run reall choppy and poor.... the engine wouldnt stay running....
