Default tapping noise

ok i just put on flowtech l/t's ory, magnaflow, tune, lid, msd plugs and wires, in the last month, well this last week i been getting a ticking noise at idle and slight throttle sounds like a lifter, could this be a header leak maybe?? im suppose to take it in the shop next week just wanted to hear a couple opinions first, thanks in advance!

Without hearing it hard to tell. To me a "tapping" noise could be an exhaust leak - "ticking" noise sounds electrical, like maybe a plug wire arcing on the header.
