C7 header ticking
I've got TSP longtubes on my car. After the install I've noticed what I think is the DI system making more of a ticking noise than previously.
This guy (post 17) mentions the headers make it more pronounced: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ing-noise.html
Anyone else have this experience? I know there are no leaks because I've sprayed everything down with soapy water. It doesn't even sound like a header leak either. It sounds like the DI system, just slightly louder than it used to be. Thoughts?

Mine seems to be about equal on both sides. Quiets down as it warms up. It's barely audible from in the car but with the windows down and driving next to something you can hear it pretty well because the sound reflects.

I thought I had a leak to but it is just the nature of the beast, all of my studs were tight and there were no exhaust leaks. Thinner Stainless vs. a cast manifold so you can hear the noise a little.
