I'm still getting that ticking sound from my headers and I went through an ordeal after I snapped one of the collector studs off in the flange itself attatched to the header.[:@] that was fixed but still have the leak. Would there be any difference, sound wise, if it were coming from the collector vice the header itself? I know that exhaust ticking all too well and I can see what looks like burnt exhaust residue around where the most rear part of the header and collector are.

If it sounds like it's under the car it's likely the collector but those are not known to leak. If it only happens when on the throttle it's likely the exhaust header gasket. Also if the sound seems like it's on the left of the car.
