Hey,im new here and definitly glad i found this site,iv been hearing a ticking noise from my 97 3.8 firebird and I cannot find where it is coming from,i listened with the end of a screwdriver on the valve cover,oil pan,injectors,and cant seem to find it,it increases with rpms and gets louder when warm,it doesnt sound like its coming from the top or bottom,more like the middle? its on the right side right around the starter from what i can tell , any ideas would be much appreciated,thanks.

Re: HELP finding noise please
yeah i checked that as best i could, but it sounds more like metal clicking/tapping noise than the putter noise of exhaust,i did notice on the exhaust where it bends to meet up with the cat there is a dent in it ,is that supposed to be there? -

Re: HELP finding noise please
it's an exhaust leak. check your erg valve, and where it connects to your upper intake and headers.WAWA-A-HOLIC
