    Hey guys bolted the exhaust up and I've been getting annoying ticking noise it dies in time but I really hope its not the flex.. smh but maybe you guys can tell me the ticking noise.. headers are sd headers any ideas? I also want to note rear manifold gasket wasnt installed there do the fact that I was told it wasnt needed but I will install with new felpro gaskets here's a video:

    I couldn't watch the video; however, you need gaskets on the front and rear and if it is a rhythmic ticking with engine RPM it is an exhaust leak.

    Always use gaskets and orange RTV if needed
