Wierd noise

So recently woth my new exhaust i can hear iit even more when i press the gas i get this like raddleing sound from my engine? Like a tik tik tik
Super fast ... It still feels like it has normal power and everything I just hate the noise.... Like a constant rattling?
Anyone know or think what it could be?

Thanks

Did this only happen since you got a new exhaust? Could it be something that was there all along and you just never heard it?

Collapsed valve lifter? (just kidding)

Does the speed of the rattle follow the RPM, or is it constant?

It follows the rpm or whenever. I push the gask its like a super fast thuding . It could be a leak but its coming from the front of the car ? Mabye the headers but idk . Cause i can hear the exhaust from the back perfectly. Just ill use gas and it like thuds with the rpm slightly and how ever much gas. I push down.

With the car parked and the hood open you can work the throttle and listen more closely, perhaps.

Your distributor cap is on crooked. You'll need a new cap and rotor now.

If that proves to not be the issue, then check your timing...

I have 2 FB's with new RB exhaust systems that make an odd noise too. Its unusual, but according to RB is the new mufflers not being broken in. /shrug

But they also sold me a carb last year with a fat crack in the main body that was "tested" and told me all sorts of **** was wrong with my car, so ill never know haha
