Default Clicking during acceleration?

Out of nowhere today the car started to make a clicking sound when I accelerate. Its not noticible during idle, just under acceleration. Anyone know what the deal with that is?

Yep, i would suggest exhaust leak... pop the hood and have someone give it a little gas so you can track it down and replace whichever gasket is blown or tighten down whatever bolts are loose... its easier to hear the leak when your driving because of the load on the engine, but you should be able to find it just fine

Yep its an exhaust leak. The LT's separated from the Y-Pipe a little bit on the passenger side. I hit the clamp holding the Y to the Headers the other day pulling out of McDonalds so that probaly did it.

Yea that happened to me when I did the spark plugs on my car last year, it started smelling and I could hear the clicking, I thought it was a lifter but eventually found that the rear bolt on the manifold got loose
