Hello everyone! Just purchased my first Mustang, and also my first Ford made vehicle. Have a 1996 Ford Mustang GT, 4.6 5 speed. It has had a PI head and intake swap, CAI, BBK headers, cat delete, and flowmaster 40's. Besides that I believe everything is stock. The car shows 57k miles on the odo.
The car runs very good, besides what I believe to be a bad exhaust leak. Under acceleration I can hear a pretty loud tick coming from the passenger side. The harder you press on the gas pedal the louder it gets. At an idle the engine is super quiet which makes me think its an exhaust leak and not a tappet or something. I did a KOER test today and pulled engine codes P1158 and P1138. Are these codes relevant to this ticking/exhaust leak? What could be the problem here? is it exhaust manifold gaskets or something completely different?
Thanks guys/gals! - Alex
