Default Headers lg long tube 3" off road x pipe engine noise

Is it normal to have this ticking sound/ engine noise with catless exhaust system and 1 7/8 lt headers

Everything is tight I double checked. One guy said the aftermarket header is thin and it's gone make thst sound. He said factory manifolds are thicker and suppress the engine noise better

Yeah it's all good. Mine does the same thing. That's the price you pay for headers but well worth it in my opinion with just full exhaust full intake a tune and some little things I made 440rwhp happy modding

Like I said if it's an ls3 a tune is extremly nessisary... Even with just headers these cars run very lean untuned
