Default ticking noise?

I just recently started to get this ticking noise from under the hood. It only does it after the car has been running for a little bit, and only does it at idle. It's very sparatic too. Any ideas as to what it could be?

You would hear an exhuast leak all the time. It would get louder with more RPM's. I think you just need to adjust your rocker arms. And x2 on the 341rwhp???

the 341 was what i was told from the previous owner who dynoed it, my sig doesn't have all mods listed. I've asked other people who have seen my car, and they said that number sounds right. I plan on getting it dynoed sometime soon, so I can be sure on that.
