Hmph, so it wouldn't be really loud then? Cause this tick I can hear while driving down the road and its really noticable.Go HoTO! said:It's a ticking sound. You really hear it when driving next to a wall. You can also place a sheet a plywood on the side of the car and rev it up.
So its pretty damn loud then? Like embarrasing to drive around in public loud? lolDarkShadowGT said:most people say it sounds like a sprinkler. (pfft pfft pfft) it should be rhythmic.when i had an exhaust leak you can REALLY hear it putting a load on the engine (like driving uphill in a high gear) with the windows up.
Would it make a loud ass ticking that sounds like a lifter or something? How much are these regular studs and where can I get them?2002BLGT said:its probably the x pipe where it bolts to the manifolds , if you dont take out the factory studs and put regular studs in , they will leak everytime ....IMO.... lots of experience with this before I put long tubes on , best mod beside supercharger I have done by the way.....

Thanks bud. See it actually sounds like its coming from the engine if you were to open the hood, but if u look underneath the car it also sounds like its coming from under there. I took it to a mechanic at ford and he actually thought the ticking was coming from the tranny so he tore it apart and stuff and put it back together and it still ticks. which leaves me to wonder if it could possibly be an exhaust leak since its so close by. Now what do these studs go to? The header gasket? If so isn't that a pretty long job?Snarf said:NAPA parts # 800-1916 [it may be 600-1916.. can't remember] Its a set of studs with a TON less spacing between bothe threaded ends.. it'll make sense when you see it. They're 10 bucks or less and will fix you up well.
Basically it will sound like a loud tip-tip-tip and it'll be pretty rythmic. If you car is loud all around it, instead of only near the exhaust tips, you've def got an exhaust leak. Alos, get under the car with a flashlight and look for carbon buildups on the engine block or tranny. They'l looks like gritty dark partches that will look out of place on the car.
To me it really sounds like you have a leak. Use the studs, and re-align everything yourself, and you should be good!
