Exhaust leak? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I only have 1,200 miles on my SS and it sounds like I have an exhaust leak on the passenger side.

Has anyone else experienced exhaust leaks on their LS3 stock exhaust?

Thanks,

Ed

no but all mine has been changed . get underthere at idle and feel around and listen to see if you can find it . could be the exhaust manifold

Are you referrring to the 'kind of a ticking" noise from the passenger side of the engine, especially noticeable when the engine is hot (as in the aux fans are on). I have the same noise. I don't think it is an exhaust leak otherwise, the noise should be more noticeable when the engine is cold when the exhaust manifold gasket has not expanded yet, and less noise when engine is warm when gasket has expanded and sealed. Not worried about it.
