make sure the air pipe on the header is on tight and your header bolts are tight.I had an exhaust leak on my edelbrock shorties and it didn't sound nothing close to your vid....im thinking it's something else,maybe lifters or rockers.

it does kinda sound like a very small exhaust leak to me, but could be your lifter, crank your car when it is cold, and go around your headers and under neath your car and feel around your exhaust in the area it is ticking and see if you cant feel a small blast of air or something just dont tough the header lol!

I just bought a 96 trans am a week ago and there is a ticking noise at certain rpms. I was told it was an exhaust leak. It doesn't sound much like your video. How and where would you go about checking for an exhaust leak? And how would you fix it?

I am going to +1 on this responce...Its too hard to tell from the vid, but I would take a socket to those header bolts and see if any bolts are loose. Then, go from there. Might be valve train related, but it is easier to identify an exhaust leak.
