Exhaust ticking noise
Hey guys! I'm trying o get my exhaust fixed up before I go to the Carlisi cruise this coming Saturday! Which reminds me I still have to sign up! Anyway there is a strange ticking noise coming from my exhaust. I know it's the exhaust because for one it smells, two my center consol where the shifter is gets really toasty after about a half hour of driving, and three I have loss of performance. I was beginning to think my turbos might be cracked cus me and my good friend disassembled all the exhaust and turbos and made sure everything was tightened one bolt at a time! I do have a aftermarket downpipe without the prw-cat and a peter farrel exhaust after that also. Does anyone have any idea as to what it may be?? Hopefully I can get it figured out before the cruise...
All feedback is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

You sure you don't have an exhaust leak? That is usually the type of noise you are describing. As for the excessive heat that area does get pretty hot, is it more heat than you experienced in the past? When you pulled the turbos were they old manifold to engine gaskets? Did you reuse them? What about the other gaskets in the exhaust system?

if it ticks when its off its normal just the metal cooling off and shrinking back. Loss in performance and excessive heat would be a clogged main cat like scrub said. If its ticking with the car running that sounds like an exhaust leak, and for that i would just check all the gaskets mainly the turbo to DP one but they dont usually fail that often cause there metal.
edit: also having friends working on these cars can be a good way to get yourself and your in a world of hurt unless that person has one or has had experience with them in the past.

my turbo manifold warped and now i have a pre-turbo leak that GREATLY affects spool time. i thought maybe it wasnt set right so i took all the bolts off and retightend them evenly but no good need a new manifold
