Is this normal?

Iv taken the car to the local dealership twice now. They noticed the ticking and said it was a exhaust leak and replaced what was broken. Nothing changed. Now i know 100% that this was not making the same noise two weeks ago. What is it? and what do i do? They just keep telling me its normal and i guess as far as i know it is but its really loud and annoying and wasnt there less than a month ago.



had to upload it to youtube b.c i couldnt figure out how to post it here otherwise.

Still normal. I had the same concern, and my tech and I checked out every other L99 on the lot, and they all did it too.

1) Look under the hood at nite. You'll see flashes if/where there's a header exhaust leak.
or
2) Spray soapy water on the header, you'll see bubbles if/where there's a header exhaust leask.
or
3) Get a 3' hose. Put one end on top of each header port and the other end to you ear, you'll hear if/where there's a leak
