Hey, maybe someone on here can help me before I end up having to go to chevy and paying a crap loud for them to tell me "It's normal" I bought a 2010 chevy camaro in march. since then ive been hearing a ticking kind of noise from the front left , only when the car is IDLE. It sounds like its coming from the engine but I'm not sure. I've never had a camaro before so idk what is normal or not. The previous owner installed some really expensive BMW twin exhausts. This makes the car sound a lot louder then normal camaros. Recently i've also started hearing a clicking noise from the back right area. Seems like where the exhaust is but im not to sure. It doesnt happen right away but when i turn on the car and start to back up, or when i start to drive and its not constant its like a single click and then its gone. Any Ideas? Id really appreciate it!

Thanks

Have it looked over by somebody who installs exhaust systems, it sounds like your exhaust has seperated (or been clamped) and is clicking against itself whenever in idle.

Easy fix, they'll weld whatevers clicking together, and no more clicking.

The ticking from the front left is normal for the V6, my 2011 V6 also "ticks." As for the one at the back right im not sure, Hope I helped some!

If you own a LLT (V6) click this link. You'll hear the clicking better a about 58 seconds.

If so it's the fuel pump cliking and that is normal on most V6's

Awsome, thanks a lot for the help everyone. I'll have to look around for someone who installs exhausts but that kinda made me stop freaking out lol, i just got the car recently and didn't want to get killed in labor fees and what not.
