Ticking noise after header install
So i had my doug thorley 336 short headers installed today. I have MRT V2 axel back installed along with CAI intake. Before the install had no issues car sounded good. However after install i hear a ticking almost bee sound when i accelerate. During idle no issues. Anyone have had this sound. I checked outside of car and couldnt tell if it was coming from my axel back exhuast or directly under the car. I read a few places that it could be just becuase the they are thinner than stock and can cause more noise becuase stocks are more shielded per say. I also heard it could be from a spark plug not tightend up all the way. I have no check engine lights on and the shop i had install them is a good reputable shop. Any ideas anyone. I almost feel like the axel back are not tightend up enough as they are clamped on and maybe causing a air leak. I will try to see if i can get a good video of the sound. Please let me know your thoughts. Kinda of at a loss here cause i didnt have this problem before. 2010 V6

Normal. Don't worry its your normal engine sounds just amplified through the thinner piping.

Really? It is pretty loud. Would some header wrap maybe help muffle it. Kind of annoying in my opinion. Almost dont see much of a change honestly in power. Kinda seems a bit slower in low end.

Repaired. Went back to shop and found out he missed a spot when welding on the headers to the pipes. Sounds great now. Thanks for the replies.
