Had PPE headers and exhuast (both brand new) installed by Tommy Musicbox. I've noticed this ticking sound when doing cold starts but goes away after. Is this the same sound you guys are talking about? Or is it normal? It would be weird since these are new headers and there can't be a crack

That sounds like an exhaust leak, seriously doubt its a crack though. Its probably something easy like a gasket or something isnt tight enough. I have PPE EL headers and I have a difficult time sealing up my driver side header>catback flange.

Picked the car up from the shop last week. Old parts replaced with new OEM ones. Really happy with the results.
No more farm equipment sounds, micro-shimmies at idle, or macro-floppies during WOT up-shifts.
Just refined and responsive.
New starter sounds more enthusiastic, too.
Passenger-side (right) exhaust manifold weld failed at same location as everyone else's, at port nearest the firewall. It was deemed un-repairable, not sufficient parent material left for a reliable weld. Driver's-side (left) manifold was in good condition, no weld failures.
Anyone know a good place to recycle catalytic converters in Southern California?
Mark DiBella of MD Automotive in Westminster, CA. He was Jackson Racing's lead mechanic. He has taken great care of me and my cars over the years. Highly recommended. http://markdibella.com/index.html
Anyone have an exhaust shop reccs in SoCal? Think I've got a cracked manifold as well.
Ditto here now, 2011 ISF with 101k miles and noticeable exhaust smell when the HVAC recirc is outside air. I prefer to have OEM due to strict smog checks in CA since they check for cats now.
Anyone know of a shop in SCAL that will repair/weld the OEM header flanges? Thanks for anyones input.
