ok im prety sure i might have a slight exhaust leak which i will check out. i know a leak usually makes a tick noise but does it make it under load or when idling or both. mine only does it under load when driving, not when reving in neutral. Its a tick/chug. I did not replace the gasket, used the old one when i put on my mid. Also i got the bassani catted x and why is it i hear sizzling from water dropping on it sometimes when im just idling or like when i close my car door and it shakes the car. im assuming its the ac but why didn't it do it before. i have the heat shield on it now as did the old cats.

and now that i think about it, it sizzles like the sound of water dropping on it even when the ac isnt on? why would it be dripping if the ac isn't on and condensation isn't being removed?

An exhaust leak at the header (on my car at least) made like a tssst tsssttssstt sound. I know that's a stellar description but thats the best I got.

It was noticeable at idle but especially under load.
