As the title says, I have SLP headers and they have been making a ticking noise since I've installed them comming from the flex section.

I wrapped the Flex section and the ticking got quieter audibly, but scanning reveals up to 7 degrees false knock. Scanned before I installed the headers showed I actually had "less KR" with the stock exhaust on.

I know the ticking noise is common on the SLP headers, but I don't know if anyone has just tried replacing the interlock flex section to fix it. I"m thinking about going that route, but I'm not sure what size flex to buy. ZZP sells the 2.5" and the 3" diameter sections and I'm not sure which one is the right size. The SLP website says 3" collector, so I'm assuming that's the size of the flex also.


Just for reference I have the CAI and not the drop in K&N anymore, along with AL 104 spark plugs

I shouldn't be knocking with those mods, I run 93 octane.
