Exhaust popping, could be coolant?

The Percy gaskets I got weren't cheap Percy's XX Carbon Exhaust Header Gaskets 68037 they're made of metal but they have a fuzzy foam like coating. As far other things, the car had no issues before I changed the gasket.

Go back and think about what you just said in that last sentence.:D
There isn't a chance in hell it's coolant in the pipes causing it.
