Hi.. I have a video cam and capture card so I can go get some more vid.. if anyone wants to see more... or has any thoughts... I had this same ticking noise before doing my exhaust.. I bought bbk equal length headers ... and just put a pacesetter offroad x pipe on. Next step is catback... I have crappy stock exhaust with cherry bomb mufflers.... (I know) ... I am debating on either magnaflow, borla, or bassani catback.. but don't have the money right now .. and am more concerned about the ticking for now... it is kinda hard to hear the ticking over the exhaust in the video.. sounds like the camera picked up more of the exhaust.. it isn't that loud... but the video makes it seem louder... So the ticking is coming from the passenger side ... I went under the car with it jacked up and I can feel a bit off air coming out of the transmission where it has that flat plate towards the front of the engine.. and I am almost positive there aren't any exhaust leaks.. I can't feel any air pulsing out. from around any of the flanges or gaskets... but I do feel hot air... almost feels like exhaust on the passenger side... maybe just heat??... could it be something else... Anyways if you try to listen past the loud exhaust in the vid you will hear the ticking... any thoughts.. could it have to do with the tranny or flywheel or something... ???? This has been such a long ongoing problem... just wish I could figure it out.. It has been 2 years..... I just uploaded the video to youtube.. it says processing but I'll get the link on asap.
