Welcome to the forum!

I don’t seem to hear what you’re talking about in the video. What are you particularly concerned about?

sounds like a tick after the car is reved up and starts to decelerate. probably just me being paranoid but wanted to check on here for a bit of resurance

I hear no tick, but that might be my computer speakers.

Search for threads on afterfire due to lean miss. Do you get a more pronounced tick when driving and you let off the gas?

I don't click on outside links, especially to a site I never heard of and/or from a new poster, no offense, my career was network engineering/security. From your description of just doing heads/side pipes, I would lean towards a slight exhaust leak along with reversion, they often tick and are sometime confused with valve train noises....
