Is it an exhaust leak? I have blown the exhaust gasket and it makes a ticking sound. I would also use FEL-PRO gaskets if it is an exhaust leak. Timing and tune up will do wonders for your car. Check around your headder and around every exhaust flange. You might have a leak.

what did you do with the gaskets when you did your exhaust? Replace them or re-use them? If you didn't replace them...well it's probably an exhaust leak.
