Lt's cause explosion! (i was joking about the title)it was to get some answers. hey i have a 2001 ws6 wit pacesetter lts and a catback on their, so when i turn off my car theris a ticking sound coming from my header area so plz tell me if this is normal or what? it goes lt's ---y pipe---cat--flowmaster. (so can yall tell me if that setup is causing not enough airflow and my pipes are staying to hott)<--is what i think but i dont know shit about cars. |
normal heat expansion and retraction ticks most of the time. Common sounds. |
Sounds like a typical exhaust leak? Turn on the car and feel around for air coming out of the header. It could be a bad AIR connection, weld, anything. |
u said to feel around the header, do u mean at the engine and if so, my fan would be blowing right? or do u mean feel at the bottom wer the headers conenct to the y pipe |
could be the check valves for the AIR system, just get block off plates for those from one of our sponsers at the right. |

if i buy those plates wont it make my car not pass inspection? i was just thinking that my cat was so far back and next to my muffler that maybe my car isnt letting enough air out, nebody comment on this? |
good lord!!! I have to take off my LT's before they explode!! [edit] damnit - I have to learn to read through the posts before I hit the quick reply... :jest: |
It's perfectly normal. |
if its after you turn off your car , don't worry about it. Metals expand/contract with heating and cooling. Join the club of people that don't give a crap about normal ticking. |
