Re: Headers Leak?

If it were leaking, you would hear a noticeable change in the exhaust tone and it would get louder. Typically this happens when you don't use new gaskets when installing the new header. However a ticking doesn't really sound like it would be an exhaust leak. Can you isolate the noise's origin? Does it only happen under acceleration? What about if you have the car in park or neutral but give it gas?

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
