flyin99 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Got new dual exhaust put on today.....installed 2 1/2" dual pipes and two Magnaflow mufflers. Kept the cats on and cut the pipe, right where it goes from one into two, to connect the new pipes. Fired it up when finished and walked behind it........sounds nice and mellow, then after about 3 or so minutes of walking around the truck, checking it all over, it starts to have a tick sound coming from the right side pipe, out of the exhaust itself. Wierd I thought.........had a buddy come over.....got behind it and said just above idle, it goes away, but when you let it idle, the right side ticks. All of the pipe connections were welded and secured by new hangers. This sound is like it's coming out of the pipes........Took the truck home and let it sit a couple of hours to cool some and started it back.....all was calm for the first couple of minutes or so, then here came the tick........????? Any ideas on what might do this?.....not bad bad, but just annoying to know it is doing this.......Thanks for any input on the issue...

Fireman31 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 With more free flowing exhaust, you will hear more internal engine noise......I wouldn't worry about it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
