nope, likely the stock exhaust you had on there was doing a good job of killing the noise (the muffler and resonater especially). Now that you have a better-flowing exhaust thats set more for performance then for comfort, you'll hear stuff like that more.

you may have a very small leak somewhere, but if they are just very small pops, then thats probably normal.

I didn't know these mentioned Civics had carburetors. [8D]

Any time you change your exhaust the muffler is going to have a significantly different back pressure and flow than the stock one and you will hear a lot more noises.

If you are in 4th gear say and put your foot to the floor, if you don't hear any leaks you are probably all right.
