Where is the ticking noise coming from, under the car or in the engine bay. I was going to suggest that your collector bolts might be the cause do to being not fully tightened.

I have a slight tick, too. It sounds like it's just the exhaust pulses in the tubes at the bottom of the pipes. All of my bolts are tight, too. Did you get LT's?
