yeah, i hope its just normal. we checked for leaks when I installed them but maybe something got loose. That was a month and a half ago. I never noticed it before because I ran with my cutout open but now I capped it (for the very reason so i can listen for stuff like this) Could it be a lifter or something? Thanks.

It could be engine related, but I can almost bet you just have something under there that needs to be adjusted. I've heard weird sounds from exhaust leaks, from ticking to my favorite--my friends SS that sounded like he had a whistling turbo lol.

Just cheched all my clamps this afternoon (60 lb-ft) and it still has a slight tick. I also did a quick check on my header bolts too. It could be my imagination. I am going to check my spark plugs tomorrow and give the header bolts a more accurate torqing.
if you already checked your clamps and think that there might be a leak here....try wrapping some metallic tape around the joints. It might not look pretty, but who the hell looks underneath there anyway?
