Annoying ticking noise.... could it be the headers?

[jayroca]

Hey guys bolted the exhaust up and I've been getting annoying ticking noise it dies in time but I really hope its not the flex.. smh but maybe you guys can tell me the ticking noise.. headers are sd headers any ideas? I also want to note rear manifold gasket wasnt installed there do the fact that I was told it wasnt needed but I will install with new felpro gaskets here's a video:

I couldn't watch the video; however, you need gaskets on the front and rear and if it is a rhythmic ticking with engine RPM it is an exhaust leak.

You are right its doin it right with the rpms...also being as when i pulled the rear header bolts out they were leaking as well smh.... should have went with my gut instincts and did it right the first time... shouldn't have cut any corners

Always use gaskets and orange RTV if needed

Exactly what I told myself the first time I installed SD's instead I was impatient and cut corners not replacing the flew right away...


Yup exhaust leak

Update on the headers: put a gasket on the rear manifold and got rid of that annoying ticking noise thanks guys for all the help looking we'll see how long the flex lasts...
