Okay so accentually whats going on is im getting this ticking noise only when the motor is under load, while moving. If i sit in neutral and rev, no noise. and it only when im on more then 1/4 or half throttle.

So what do your keen ears hear?

Oh the Mach has bbk off road x-pipe, magnaflow catback, jlt ram air intake and sct bama tune street.

I'm thinking exhaust flange, right side, passenger side meeting from the exhaust manifold to x pipe.

No guess eh? Well I dropped it off at Midas today so hopefully they can resolve the issue.

Maybe I'm just tired cuz I just got of a long night of work, But it sounds like a blown out flowmaster trying to climb 5th gear with 2:73's. lol. Let us know what midas tells you, other than they want your arm and leg just for looking at your car.

Well back from Midas, they claim I do t have an exhaust leak. And that it's my clutch bearing making the ticking noise. Does that sound right? I have seen a few threads with similar issues but no solution.

Lol on the flowmasters, actually I had flowmaster on the car when I bought it, and yes they were blown out.

mine does the same someone told me it was cause of the o/r midpipe

So i just crawled back under the car to check for leaks, there still there and not hard to notice... Knew i shouldn't have gone there. and they said i don't have any exhaust leaks. pluss i had to pay them for them to tell me that... So im not taking that its the clutch bearing needs to be replaced.

Guess my next step is to get a refund back for the "exhaust leak inspection" that was never done. Guess you shouldn't trust a place whose staff is younger then me.

Then on to another shop and see what they recommend.

It does sound like an exhaust leak to me. I have had some that sounded just like it.

How about EGR Valve? ford dealership said it could be, but I'm not throwing a code. But the thats something I can replace myself. I'm thinking about doing this over the weekend.

of course, I could do an EGR delete, make adjustments with my tuner. But I'm not to sure on that since there seems to be a constant argument whether removing the egr valve it ruins gas milage, some says it improves gas and mpg.
