Default Leaky header tick at idle or wot?

Does a leaky header tick at idle? Or just when your on it? I have a tick sound at wot or when I get on it. Doesn't tick at idle though. I think it's a leak in the cat back. Not sure though. Just wanted to see if it were a leaky header gasket before I really look into it.

Sounds like it's under the car. So if it were the headers, it would tick at idle? I'm sure I could hear it with the hood open.
