Likely normal LS engine sounds amplified by the headers. Check out this thread for more details and possible causes ....

Where is the ticking coming from? Check your collectors and o2 sensors. Make sure those are tight. I had some initial ticking with mine and had to snug everything up some more.

Glad it worked for ya man. Enjoy the new power and sound. It is amazing how terrible a small leak can make everything sound. Its even more amazing how great it sounds when the system is leak free.
