Hi all, I have an 04 RedLine, bought it in September. I only have 2,700 miles on it. It's pretty much a weekend/nice weather car for now, until my 93 SW2(130,000 miles) dies. When my car is hot, the exhaust lets off a fast ticking sound. I thought this was just a new exhaust sound that would eventually burn off and go away, but it's been almost 6 months, and it's still there. I know I don't have many miles on the car, but has anyone noticed this on their RL's and did it go away?
Thanks a lot.

Mine does the same. Our exhaust runs pretty hot, I know that much. I think it's just the cat. conv., because as the car cools when shut off the ticking goes away.

My exhaust does that on the Redline, and the new exhaust on my Vette does the same thing. It's just the metal contracting after heating and cooling.
