Wondering. I think the sound I hear is the “normal” ticking sound of a gen3 coyote just wondering because it does tick a little bit, butI really only hear when I’m near a wall and when I accelerate a little bit it gets a little faster. Regardless is a header tick even a problem if that’s what I’m hearing? I never hear it from with inside the cabin and do not really hear it unless I’m close to a wall. Which I heard kinda prior to the header install. Lol. But honestly it seems like if it is header tick from the many things I’ve read it’s normal and pretty much expected due to the thinner than stock steel of the headers. which I don’t think it is. I personally think it’s coyote tick. Just wanted to be educated a little. lol.

Like a sewing machine.
The issue is the coyote gen3 also sounds like that lol. So it’s difficult to know. There’s no way to really fix that from what I understand correct? It’s just a thing to deal with from what I read. I honestly am not bothered by it.

Header noise is more ofa ping than a tick.

Dunno. Mine almost sounds like a slight exhaust leak under mid throttle or so. Be checking mine over soon

Yeah. I hear that a lot. I think my sound is simply the nice tick the coyote makes. Lol.
