Default tapping

ok
so i raced a civic SI tonight (won of course)
but after the race my car started acting funny and had no power to it
it also has a knock to it
its not smoking or anything like that
it just kinda has a chug to it and a slight knock
any ideas on a diagnostic?
sorry for the lack of real info but im not really that familiar with alot of techy stuff
it seems to be coming fromn the passenger side

ok
so i made a video but you cant hear anything on it
the sound i was hearing was definately a valvetrain noise
and seeing as i have the stock exhaust manifold, an exhaust leak isnt out of the question because they are old and beat up
but i still cant figure out what would squeak when i shut the engine off
