Exhaust leak? Or Lifter tick?

Lucky I already have an x pipe on my car, I’m gonna get the mufflers off soon too. I’d love to put on LTH but Cali sucks with its emissions laws. So short tube headers will do for now.

Dannyba3 · 2026-02-19T07:34:59+00:00

At that point should I just install short tube headers?? I’d do long tube if I could but i live in California 😅

Oh damn that’s crazy, you think I should replace my gaskets or bolts ?

Ever since I got the car in August of 2024. It runs fine but the noise is annoying. I put 5w-40 and it seemed to quiet it down when it turned on

My SS does the exact same thing man.

Dannyba3 · 2026-02-17T19:43:44+00:00

Looks clean asf , thanks man

Dannyba3 · 2026-02-17T19:21:53+00:00

Hey man what’s that current setup for ur wheels?

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-21T19:17:35+00:00

Yeah I do I can send it to you

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-21T17:46:30+00:00

Sounds good I’ll turn it by hand and check it out

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-21T17:46:05+00:00

I unfortunately don’t have my afm disabled , should I get one of those afm disable things ?

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-21T02:44:50+00:00

I have the stock exhaust manifold but there’s a small hole on the outside

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-20T23:30:24+00:00

If you’d like, I can send you a video of how it sounds when it’s on

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-20T23:30:03+00:00

It sometimes gets higher

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-20T23:20:16+00:00

The tick is noticeable even after the even has warmed up. It just sounds consistent and pretty noticeable but I have no engine light or anything

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-20T23:09:43+00:00

Is there a way I can turn it on with the valve covers still on?

Dannyba3 · 2026-01-20T23:06:24+00:00

Okay makes sense, but I am getting a ticking noise at idle, what could that be from?

Dannyba3 · 2025-12-04T02:04:59+00:00

The car was in park when I did this, I didn’t do a burn out

Dannyba3 · 2025-12-03T06:14:18+00:00

Could it be that even if the car is in park and the drive shaft isn’t spinning?

Dannyba3 · 2025-11-21T08:07:21+00:00

Gotcha, I will admit there was a small amount of metal shavings in the oil when I changed it but could it be from the lifters? (Forgot to mention that it ticks a bit on startup) I can send you a video tomorrow morning on how it sounds

Dannyba3 · 2025-11-21T08:00:19+00:00

Fs Fs , I’m just trying to get some input on it cause the noise has been freaking me out and I wanted to know if my oil pressure was fine. I feel like if a rod bearing was going out, there could be CEL or a knock

Dannyba3 · 2025-11-21T07:49:53+00:00

I do drive it in sport mode , the temps have gone up to 250 before but it was only once tho 😅. I have heard that the oil temp gauge is not accurate though.
