more than likely its an exhaust leak. mine does that too. after i disconnected the mid pipe it hasnt been the same. i cant get the sound to go away. im sure if you go to a muffler shop they will put on there perfect that way you have no noise. probably cost you like $30. i just turn my radio up

it could be the gasket. if it is, hope its on the driver side. alot easier to take the exhaust manifold off. if not oh well. but just take off the mid pipe and put it back on. if it still has the sound replace the gasket. when i had my muffler off. i was running just straight headers and y pipe. and then one day it got alot louder. i thought my gasket blew. i got under the car ready to change the gasket. and my y pipe was broken off at a weld lol. guy at a muffler shop welded it back on for $20. made my check engine light go off to. so i got to return my O2 sensors i bought

i was gunna say the same thing. i have a friend who has an 86 chevy ck with a 350 in it and we started hearing a ticking noise and it turned out to be a collapsed lifter. maybe your having the same problem. best bet would be take it to a shop
