Default is this an exhaust leak?

I have been told by my dealership that all LS1's have some "piston slap" which causes a sound similar to lifter tick until the car warms up. This sound seems louder now that I have headers and true duals, and its a ticking sound but you only hear it under very low throttle or coasting. However, once the car gets up to operating temperature everything sounds fine. Is this common or do I have an exhaust leak someplace that I just can't track down?
