I just put new shorty headers on my 07 GT...now when I accelerate there is a ticking noise in my exhaust...is this definately an exhaust leak? could it be something else? what is the next step in fixin this crap?
the entire exhaust got dropped off when the headers got replaced any chance that it's not the headers and maybe a leak where the headers meet the mid pipe? or is the ticking specific to the headers?
Any leak in the exhaust has the potential to tick. You are more likely to hear it up by the headers is all. It could very well be at the collector. Just look for carbon deposits.
A good practice would be to drive 100 miles and then re-tighten all the bolts again.
