say...since you added those, did you get a tune? (not saying that's the problem here, but I want some installed in my car very very soon and I was curious)

Yeah, it's a leak. When you have aftermarket exhaust, especially when you're catless, you'll get a ticking type sound. That's just cylinder fire echoing through the tubes, but it's not too loud and it's only at low RPMs (like 1500 and below). The easy way to tell is to drive past a wall with your windows down. If you hear the ticking from outside like that then it's a leak. If not it's just echo.

Check ur mid pipe. If it is the 3 piece Hthe shop probably didnt alighn it worth a damn.

Yeah i got the 3 peice, but im almost postive it coming from the longtubes

yellowgtstang18

could it happen if the bolts were not tight enough

The header/ midpipe joints and midpipe/ catback joints are usually foolproof, but loosen them and retighten them starting at the header back. If that doesn't do it, go to an auto parts store and get a stethoscope. It's probably coming from one of the block/ header joints.

+1. And stethoscopes are real cheap. I bought mine off the Snap On truck for $18. I'm sure you could get them at Advanced for about $8.
